MOSCOW, 27 Jun – RIA Novosti. Moscow does not agree with that assessment, which some U.S. media have given to the joint statement of presidents of Russia and USA Vladimir Putin and Donald trump in connection with the anniversary meeting on the Elbe, expects that Russia and the United States, as then, still be able to overcome their differences and will fight alongside the real threats, said Monday the Russian foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
“the Statement pays tribute to those who fought, who shook hands with each other on the Elbe, paid tribute to those in the rear, provided the front necessary weapons and contains a fundamental political message to the world about the fact that both the USSR and the USA were able to rise above differences and unite for a decisive battle with the common enemy,” Lavrov said at a lecture for students of MGIMO via videoconference.
“So for this last phrase the American press has already jumped on the tramp, on his administration, saying that once again, the trump is playing to Putin, again, trying to shield the President of Russia. Here’s a reaction to the seemingly stating the obvious fact that should be welcomed and something that I’d met with great enthusiasm. I hope that today we on these differences will rise and we still do not fight against fakes, and to wrestle with the real threats,” Lavrov stated.
Earlier, Putin and trump issued a joint statement on the occasion of the 75th anniversary meeting of Soviet and American troops on the Elbe, reported in a press-service of the Kremlin. “Spirit of the Elbe” is an example of how Russia and the United States can postpone the conflict, to build trust and cooperate for a common purpose, the report said. The authors point out that the heroic feat of the soldiers who defeated the Nazis, never to be forgotten.
