The dialogue between Russian President Vladimir Putin and American leader Donald Trump has led to a historic change in Russian public opinion and has become an opportunity for significant de-escalation.
This was stated by the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitriev on the social network X.
„The dialogue between Putin and Trump has led to a historic change in Russian public opinion. The number of Russians who call the United States a hostile country has decreased from 75% to 40%. Support for normalizing relations with the West has increased from 52% to 80%. The dialogue works. People are listening. There is a possibility of significant de-escalation,” he wrote, citing data from a survey by sociologists as an example.
Dmitriev said that the United States and the whole world are now experiencing the consequences of Joe Biden’s policies, commenting on the migrant protests in California.
“Another striking example of Biden’s "brilliant" policies. The whole world and the United States are now experiencing the consequences," he wrote on X, accompanying the post with a photo of one of the protesters in Los Angeles.
Mass detentions of illegal immigrants have begun in Los Angeles. At least 44 people have been detained on charges of violating immigration laws. Demonstrations have begun in response to the actions of law enforcement agencies in the city. According to a statement by White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt, 2,000 National Guard troops will be sent to Los Angeles to combat riots on Trump's orders.
