MOSCOW: Wednesday’s phone call between President Vladimir Putin of Russia and President Donald Trump of the United States predictably caused an uproar in the Western deep state and the media outlets it controls, Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), said.
"Yesterday’s telephone conversation between President Vladimir Putin of Russia and President Donald Trump of the United States took place in a constructive atmosphere, predictably causing panic in the Western deep state and the media it controls," he wrote on Telegram.
According to Dmitriev, it’s such signals of a possible dialogue and de-escalation that disrupt "their usual way of operating, predicated on lies and confrontation."
Dmitriev pointed out that the West and the media under its control saw any prospect for dialogue and cooperation as a direct threat to the system built on what he called "managed instability." However, it’s cooperation, not confrontation, that serves the real interests of the majority of countries in the world, contributing to the strengthening of global security, the official stressed.
On June 4, the presidents of Russia and the US held their fourth phone call since Trump had taken office. The heads of state discussed the situation in Ukraine, with Puin detailing the outcome of the Istanbul talks with Ukraine and assessing the Kiev regime’s terrorist attacks. Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov told a briefing after the call that the leaders had also touched upon a number of other issues.
The fourth phone conversation between the presidents of Russia and the US lasted an hour and ten minutes. In their previous call, Putin and Trump discussed bilateral relations and ways to resolve the Ukraine conflict, including the idea of memorandums between Moscow and Kiev, which would set out the views of the parties on a potential truce. Prior to that, the presidents of Russia and the United States spoke on February 12 and March 18. They addressed efforts to normalize relations between Moscow and Washingtonand various aspects of settling the conflict in Ukraine.
