Russian President Vladimir Putin was waiting on a "wink" from former U.S. President Donald Trump to seize parts of Ukraine—years before Russia launched a full-scale invasion—according to a new interview.
Written correspondence between former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort and Kremlin aide Konstantin Kilimnik discussed Putin claiming part of Ukraine, saying that a "wink" from the Republican former president was needed to "make this work," former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissmann has said.
Speaking with PBS' Firing Line and host Margaret Hoover, Weissmann said this was "such a clear indication of what Vladimir Putin was trying to do."

Which is Putin only visits Ukraine when Biden is in office.
Yet, in January 2022, Biden said in PUBLIC he would be perfectly happy with a “minor incursion” by Putin into Ukraine.
Like Ukraine is anything special. Who cares? DJT Plays the strategy game better than anyone else.
Hmmm, lets see. He was waiting for a “wink” from Trump.
Yet, he did not invade until Biden was in office.
Ergo, he must not have gotten that “wink” from Trump - else he would have invaded when Trump was in office.
Do these morons ever think through the ramifications of what it is they’re saying?
“Wait until after the election”
I thought Trump was the Putin puppet, not the other way around.
Weissman was the center of the entire Russia-gate scam, promotion of the lies, and the hand up the back of of the old fool Mueller.
He, or is minions, are probably one of the dozen or so brain-dead Zeepers who promote the deep-state BS propaganda here on FR
LOL. This sounds like one of those conspiracy theories that Trump is still really the secret president and imposing his evil will on the world.
It must be f*&king wonderful being a liberal democrat. Nothing is ever your fault, and you’re never held responsible for the messes you create. I guess it helps that their supporters are crazy and evil.
Exactly! They just admitted that Trump is right (again) that Putin would never have invaded Ukraine while he was President.
WTF?
Biden actually gave Putin that wink.
“Minor incursion”?
Plus the withdrawal from Afghanistan pretty much told the Russians everything they needed to know about Biden.
If you believe anything that evil jack*** Weissmann says, you are a fool.
I wonder when the recent tornado outbreaks will be blamed on Trump?
“former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissmann has said.”
I see the problem...
F’em.
5.56mm
And trying to cover up for dumb ass Biden.
Well, then, maybe you should have let Trump have his second term, and Russia wouldn’t have invaded.
They know exactly what they’re saying but know the media will put out TRUMP and RUSSIA in 64 pt font while the rest is done in 4pt font.
