"When I recently said that the signal sent by our Oreshnik test and the subsequent address by our president was received by all addressees in the West, I meant Trump's team, and not just the 'outgoing nature,' the Democrats," Matvienko stated in an interview with the Argumenty i Fakty website.
"We know for sure that the signal has already been decoded by specific people who will determine both Ukraine policy and security policy and Washington's international policy after January 20, 2025," she added.
Matvienko also noted that Trump's loud statements on the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine "have indeed died down."
"But this does not mean that Trump's team has distanced itself from the Ukrainian issue. This is not true. Trump does not abandon this topic. Confirmation of this is the recent disclosure of the person of the special envoy for Ukraine, former National Security Advisor Keith Kellogg," Matvienko concluded.
Earlier, the candidate for the post of White House special representative for Russia and Ukraine, Kellogg, acknowledged the danger of talking about Ukraine's admission to NATO.
