Since President Trump’s tenure began, the previously tense and often frigid relationship between Russia and the United States has become notably warmer. Despite challenges faced by American efforts to negotiate a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, interest in significant business ventures with the Kremlin remains strong. In Moscow, the evolution of the relationship between the two nations is being observed from a Russian viewpoint.
An image captured outside the United States Embassy in Moscow in April 2025 illustrates the Russian perspective on the situation. Pro-war signs decorated in the Russian tricolor emblazoned with the message “We’re Together” boast a promise of inevitable victory in Ukraine. Central to these displays is the letter Z, which the Kremlin has adopted as a symbol of support for the ongoing conflict. This scene was documented by Charles Mayne from NPR.
