I don't know if Russians really understand that they might been played. They didn't with the Minsk's agreements, the nuclear weapons and other agreements. I don't think there is an agreement that the West fully honoured. Maybe there is, i don't remember.

Maybe Russians are expecting that Trump, as a businessman, might want a mutually beneficial deal, but as i have said many times Russians are based on industry, Trump is a rentier. Rentiers are not based on mutually beneficial deals...
