Moscow sees vindication in Mueller findings, but a U.S.-Russian thaw could still be far off
By Anton Troianovski Anton Troianovski Moscow bureau chief covering Russia Email Bio Follow March 25 at 8:11 AM MOSCOW — Russia joined President Trump on Monday in claiming vindication with the end of the special counsel’s investigation. But a new dawn in U.S.-Russia ties still seems far off.
“Centuries have passed, but unfortunately there has been no understanding of this on the other side of the ocean,” Peskov said. Lawmaker Alexey Pushkov, a foreign affairs specialist in the upper house of parliament, described Mueller’s findings as exonerating Trump in the face of a “virtual conspiracy” of American news media and Democrats that was aimed at demonizing Russia.
Instead, in Moscow’s view, those hopes were dashed by a U.S. foreign policy establishment that used allegations of Russian election interference to undermine Trump’s plans to improve U.S.-Russia ties.
