‘Deep state’ Western media sabotaging Trump’s peace efforts – Putin envoy
Kirill Dmitriev has backed the US president’s latest attack on the New York Times, alleging a coordinated campaign
RT WORLD NEWS
Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev [Pix Lt/© Sputnik / Sergey Guneyev] has backed US President Donald Trump’s 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.
Dmitriev, Russia’s 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.
Trump, writing on Truth Social earlier in the day, called the NYT “a serious threat” to US national security and accused it of “lies and purposeful misrepresentations,” branding the outlet “a true enemy of the people.”
“Their radical left, unhinged behavior, writing fake articles and opinions in a never-ending way, must be dealt with and stopped,” Trump wrote.
And it’s not just the NYT. It’s a globalist, well-funded, organized, and synchronized US/UK/EU deep-state-aligned fake media machine—targeting traditional values, common sense, economic prosperity — and therefore President Trump, his team, his peace efforts, and Russia. 👇 pic.twitter.com/Y4VbWNodJV

Backing Trump’s message, Dmitriev said it was “not just the NYT,” but what he described as a “globalist, well-funded, organized, and synchronized US/UK/EU deep-state-aligned fake media machine,” which he said was targeting “Trump, his team, his peace efforts, and Russia.”
Dmitriev 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 “constructive.”
Last week’s 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’s peace efforts through their hawkish stance and attempts to use frozen Russian assets to bankroll Kiev and prolong the conflict.

In recent months, Trump has publicly attacked several news outlets, launched a White House ‘media bias’ 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 “fever swamp,” accusing it of publishing fake stories about Trump’s mental health.
Last 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.
