The threat of World War III has receded thanks to the policy of US President Donald Trump, believes Kirill Dmitriev, special representative of the President of the Russian Federation and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund.
„And the truth is that World War III was, is and will be prevented thanks to President Trump and his team“, Dmitriev writes in X.
In addition, one of Putin's most trusted people noted the position of the American politician on the Ukrainian crisis. According to Dmitriev, Trump has clarified the balance of power before a possible settlement of the conflict.
European countries want to delay the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict, he told „Izvestia“ Vladislav Maslennikov, Director of the Department for European Affairs at the Russian Foreign Ministry.
“They are clearly pursuing the goal of delaying the settlement. This has long been clear to everyone,“ he said.
On December 9, Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia, noted that the UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine clearly demonstrated the interest of London, Paris, Berlin and other European capitals in continuing the war “to the last Ukrainian“.
