One Russian newspaper today accused the Trump administration of
administrative insanity, inexperience, immaturity... (of) bragging and arrogance... , according to BBC Russian editor Steve Rosenberg, who adds
that criticism of Trump is growing in the Russian press.

Russian state media have begun to criticize US President Donald Trump more sharply, despite previously portraying him as a more favorable partner than former President Joe Biden.

The newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets accused Trumps team of chaotic
management, stating they are trying to do everything at once without
setting clear priorities.

The article speaks of administrative insanity, as well as the
administrative inexperience and administrative immaturity of Trumps top officials.

It also mentions the leak from a Signal chat where US military plans in
Yemen were discussed among senior officials in the Trump administration
the article describes the leak as a display of overconfidence and a
premature rush to announce major breakthroughs before any real steps are
taken.

Still, the outlet concludes that Moscow has not given up on trying to
influence

Other pro-Kremlin outlets echo similar sentiment.

This wave of media criticism may indicate rising tensions between Trump and
the Kremlin amid renewed diplomatic efforts to push for a ceasefire in
Ukraine.

Since Russias full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russian media have
fully transformed into tools of state propaganda under direct Kremlin
control. Within the first weeks of the war, authorities shut down or
blocked all independent media outlets in the country. Simultaneously,
access to platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube was restricted or completely banned.

This crackdown was reinforced by harsh legislation particularly the so-
called fake news law, under which any deviation from the official narrative
of Russias Ministry of Defense can lead to heavy fines or imprisonment.
Even the word war has been banned and officially replaced with the term
special military operation.

All major media outlets still operating in Russia including RIA Novosti,
TASS, Channel One, Russia 24, Komsomolskaya Pravda, and Izvestia broadcast only Kremlin-approved messaging.

Their coverage is dominated by narratives about denazification, defending Donbas, fighting NATO, and the alleged Western threat. Any criticism of the Russian military or state leadership is strictly off limits.
