From UNIAN:
"Putin is using KGB neurolinguistic technologies to influence Trump, says General
Yuri Kobzar, 26.12.25
After talking with Putin, Trump experiences a complete switch in consciousness and begins to do the opposite of what he was doing before the conversation.
Russian intelligence agencies systematically employ psychological and neurolinguistic methods of influencing Western leaders, developed back in the days of the KGB. This allows them to influence, in particular, the behavior of US President Donald Trump. This was stated by Ukrainian Army General and former head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine Mykola Malomuzh in a comment to Kyiv24.
According to him, Putin's team is deliberately using Soviet practices during negotiations with Trump, modeling his behavior and adjusting his decisions. To do this, they first study the target's psychological profile, from their complete biography to their various phobias. Then, the Russians press on these "pain points," Malomuzh says.
"After our influence, when he (Trump) vowed support for Ukraine at the UN General Assembly with Zelenskyy and said he would provide all types of weapons, even Tomahawks, Putin spoke with Trump literally two days later, and he sided with Putin. That's the real influence of the intelligence services," the general cites as an example.
UNIAN previously reported how Putin effectively appointed Stephen Witkoff as Trump's top diplomat. Initially, after Trump's return to the White House, Witkoff was appointed special envoy to the Middle East, while Keith Kellogg was supposed to handle Russian-Ukrainian affairs. However, the Kremlin quickly reversed the roles: Kellogg was sidelined, and Witkoff focused on negotiations with Russia. This occurred against the backdrop of the collapse of the traditional American diplomatic system, which Trump distrusts.
Negotiations to transfer Witkoff to the "Ukrainian track" were conducted through Saudi Arabia with the participation of Kirill Dmitriev, and the release of American Mark Fogel from a Russian prison provided additional incentive. Putin attempted to shape Witkoff's favorable perception of Russia during personal meetings, after which Witkoff repeatedly echoed Russian narratives."
