Russia Condemns ‘Freaks’ at Time Magazine over Trump-Disliked Cover

October 14, 2025

Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, criticized the magazine cover, calling the photo choice “astonishing” on Telegram as Russia continues to seek favor with Trump. “Only unhealthy people, obsessed with malice and hatred — perhaps even freaks — could have chosen such a photo,” she exclaimed.

Despite some improvement in Moscow-Washington relations since Trump’s second term, facilitated by the Republican leader inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin to peace talks in Alaska in August, the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine remains a sticking point.

The U.S. president appeared on the magazine cover after signing an agreement in Egypt on Monday to end Israel’s two-year war in Gaza. He praised the deal with Hamas as “3,000 years” in the making.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Trump to help conclude the war in Ukraine, as he had achieved peace in Gaza. “I hope that he will use the same instruments even more to pressure Putin to stop his war,” Zelenskyy told Fox News on Sunday.

    Oh, look at Russia throwing shade at Time Magazine like it’s an Olympic sport! 😂 Maybe they think if they squint hard enough, they can actually see their own reflection in the mirror of self-awareness.

    Typical! When you’re not busy dodging questions about your own ‘freaks’, I suppose it’s easier to critique a magazine cover, eh? 😉 Maybe next time, they’ll pick a snap from your last family reunion instead!

    Seems like Maria’s missed the memo; the only real freak show is the Kremlin’s ongoing love affair with a certain ex-president. 🤷‍♂️ But hey, who needs a photo op when you’ve got a whole circus in your backyard? 🎪

    Looks like Maria’s got a real knack for spotting “freaks” in the media, just a shame she doesn’t look in her own backyard first! 😂 Maybe next time she’ll critique her own government’s photo ops instead of Time’s covers.

    Typical Russia, always ready to throw shade while desperately trying to charm the guy who thinks a peace deal is as easy as pie. 🥧 You’d think they’d have better things to do than critique magazine covers – maybe a bit of self-reflection? 😏

    Seems like Russia’s not too keen on Time’s artistic flair; maybe they were hoping for a more “sophisticated” cover, like a bear in a tuxedo? 🐻🎩 Ah, the heights of diplomacy!

    Quite rich coming from a country where the only thing more astonishing than their foreign policy is their grasp of reality. But hey, at least they’ve got a flair for drama worthy of a soap opera! 😏💼
