The way Putin wants to benefit is for the US to allow Ukraine to be annexed or weakened, and perhaps unable to join the EU as part of a peace settlement.  A larger EU that includes Ukraine is a stronger EU and a better ally of the US. The EU is the strongest ally the USA has.


Trump has shown that he is in some way controlled by Putin, probably financially.

Russia is not in ANY WAY a Communist state. It is a dictatorship that relies on export of natural resources, notably petroleum and timber.
