Lavrov had only superlatives to describe the talks between the US and Russian leaders, according to Russian media.
"They were magnificent," Lavrov said, answering a journalist's question. He added that the talks were "better than super."
Viktor Bondarev, chair of the Committee on Defense and Security in the Federation Council, Russia's upper house of Parliament, was similarly effusive, according to state news agency RIA-Novosti.
"The attempt of Americans to build a unipolar world did not succeed," he said after the Helsinki meetings. "They understand it. The whole world understands that you can't do without Russia. The very fact of a meeting and dialogue is a vivid confirmation of it. Honor and praise to President Vladimir V. Putin for being able to strengthen Russia's authority in the international arena so that no matter how the Americans and the EU try to exist in confrontation with us, to pressure us with sanctions, they still have to look for ways of getting closer with us. They all still have to come to Russia."

Why is Russia so happy with Trump?

The Russian ruling elite is hoping it would be able to negotiate a new world order with Trump.
The "new Yalta" would redistribute spheres of responsibility to recognised great powers. The Kremlin, of course, sees Russia as one of them (alongside with the US, China, and perhaps Europe).
