Fiona Hill says Donald Trump does not understand what Vladimir Putin wants in negotiations to end the Ukraine war

It could of course have been pure coincidence that when Vladimir Putin unveiled Russias first hypersonic missile to the world, he did so with a simulation of the weapon plummeting into an unnamed peninsula bearing an uncanny resemblance to Florida.



The similarity was not lost on Donald Trump whose face whitened as he watched on, presumably with visions of his beloved Mar a Lago resort reduced to an atomic wasteland, flashing before his eyes.


Standing next to him on that day in March 2018 was Fiona Hill, the presidents Russia tsar at the time.

That got Trumps attention, she said. Trump was like, Why did he do that? Real countries dont have to do that.


For Hill, a long term Kremlin watcher who once sat so close to Putin at dinner she could smell the detergent used to launder his clothes, the episode revealed much about how Mr Trump views the Russian leader. He is deferential towards Putin because he really is worried about the risk of a nuclear exchange, she said.


The threat of impending nuclear fallout shaped Hills early life.

Born in County Durham in the 1960s, the daughter of a coalminer and a midwife, she was inspired to study Russian following the war scare of 1983, setting her on an extraordinary trajectory that propelled her all the way from the coal house to the White House
