Kirill Dmitriev has backed the US president\u2019s latest attack on the New York Times, alleging a coordinated campaign<\/p>\n
Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev has backed US President Donald Trump\u2019s latest criticism of the New York Times, saying some Western media outlets were working in sync against the American leader, his Ukraine peace efforts, and Russia.
\nDmitriev, Russia\u2019s senior negotiator, who just returned from talks in Miami with top US interlocutors, made the remarks in an X post on Tuesday while reposting a social media statement by Trump.
\nTrump, writing on Truth Social earlier in the day, called the NYT \u201ca serious threat\u201d to US national security and accused it of \u201clies and purposeful misrepresentations,\u201d branding the outlet \u201ca true enemy of the people.\u201d\u00a0
\n\u201cTheir radical left, unhinged behavior, writing fake articles and opinions in a never-ending way, must be dealt with and stopped,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s not just the NYT. It\u2019s a globalist, well-funded, organized, and synchronized US\/UK\/EU deep-state-aligned fake media machine\u2014targeting traditional values, common sense, economic prosperity \u2014 and therefore President Trump, his team, his peace efforts, and Russia. \ud83d\udc47 pic.twitter.com\/Y4VbWNodJV\u2014 Kirill Dmitriev (@kadmitriev) December 23, 2025 <\/p>\n
Backing Trump\u2019s message, Dmitriev said it was \u201cnot just the NYT,\u201d but what he described as a \u201cglobalist, well-funded, organized, and synchronized US\/UK\/EU deep-state-aligned fake media machine,\u201d which he said was targeting \u201cTrump, his team, his peace efforts, and Russia.\u201d
\nDmitriev has previously said that what he called coordinated media attacks were being timed to undermine the ongoing US-Russia negotiations and described the latest Miami round as \u201cconstructive.\u201d
\nLast week\u2019s talks in Miami occurred as several European powers have pushed to insert themselves into the US-led diplomatic efforts. Moscow has long accused these NATO members of undermining Trump\u2019s peace efforts through their hawkish stance and attempts to use frozen Russian assets to bankroll Kiev and prolong the conflict.<\/p>\n

In recent months, Trump has publicly attacked several news outlets, launched a White House \u2018media bias\u2019 tracker, and engaged in high-profile disputes with, and multi-billion-dollar lawsuits against, publications including the NYT and CBS. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has called the NYT a \u201cfever swamp,\u201d accusing it of publishing fake stories about Trump\u2019s mental health.
\nLast month, Trump also threatened to sue the BBC for $1 billion, accusing it of interfering in the 2024 presidential election by manipulating public perception through a spliced edit of his January 6, 2021 speech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
