Ladies and gentlemen, good Saturday
0:02
evening. As you know, today, July 4th,
0:05
the United States celebrates 250 years
0:17
The day before, Russian President
0:19
Vladimir Vladimir Putin sent a poisonous
0:23
telegram to US President Donald Trump on
0:26
this matter in which he expressed
0:29
confidence that the establishment of
0:32
constructive, equal and mutually
0:38
meets the interests not only of our
0:40
peoples but also of the entire world
0:42
community. Let me remind you that
0:45
earlier on the occasion of Russia day on
0:48
June 12th, President Shik A sent a warm
0:51
congratulatory message to Vladimir
0:57
In it, Donald Trump paid tribute to the
1:00
rich history and culture of our country
1:03
as well as the resilience of the Russian
1:10
Of course, today's telephone
1:12
conversation between the two heads of
1:14
state began with the fact that President
1:16
Vladimir Putin personally congratulated
1:19
Donald Trump and the entire American
1:22
people on a significant holiday,
1:29
in this context the presidents noted the
1:31
importance of caring for the common
1:33
pages of history that bind us.
1:41
It is especially emphasized that our
1:44
peoples will never forget the alliance
1:47
during World War II. Today, of course,
1:50
America widely celebrates Independence
1:55
All this is happening lush and large
1:58
scale. How can Donald Trump organize it?
2:02
And our president of course drew
2:04
attention to this conversation. This is
2:07
already four this year. It was natural
2:09
not only protocol but
2:14
business and very constructive. This
2:16
conversation made it possible to frankly
2:19
discuss topical issues on the bilateral
2:23
and international agenda. By the way,
2:25
this conversation continued
2:31
almost an hour and a half to be exact.
2:36
The president naturally touched on the
2:39
topic of the Ukrainian settlement,
2:41
including taking into account Donald
2:44
Trump's upcoming participation in the
2:47
NATO summit in Turkey. On July 7th 8th,
2:52
the American president reaffirmed his
2:55
readiness to promote an early sessation
3:00
and the search for peaceful solutions to
3:03
overcome the crisis. His special
3:06
representatives are Pik Vitkov.
3:09
Kushner will continue mediation efforts
3:12
and will be ready to come to Moscow at a
3:15
convenient time. The Russian side once
3:18
again emphasized the preference for a
3:20
political diplomatic settlement of the
3:23
conflict, taking into account known
3:26
principled Russian approaches. But Kief
3:29
and its European sponsors are betting on
3:32
prolonging and even escalating the
3:35
conflict into terrorism against the
3:44
At the same time, the European War Party
3:47
proceeds from a false perception of the
3:50
general situation and the state of
3:53
affairs on the line of combat contact.
3:56
Our president painted a picture of the
3:58
real situation on the battlefield
4:02
where the Russian armed forces are
4:04
confidently advancing, liberating one
4:07
settlement after another. An important
4:10
stage in the liberation of the entire
4:12
territory of the Donesk People's
4:14
Republic was the establishment of
4:17
control over such a key
4:21
strongholds in the Sue such as
4:23
Constantin. And no matter how the Kev
4:26
regime clings to the remaining fortified
4:28
areas, our army will definitely take
4:31
them. the situation around Iran.
4:37
Vladimir Putin expressed hope that the
4:40
negotiation process based on the
4:43
memorandum of mutual understanding
4:45
between Russia and Iran will make it
4:48
possible to find mutually acceptable
4:51
long-term solutions on key settlement
4:57
readiness to provide practical
4:59
assistance to efforts to deescalate and
5:02
stabilize the situation in the region
5:04
has been confirmed. Donald Trump in turn
5:07
thanked the Russian side for its
5:09
balanced position and constructive
5:16
Thanks to bilateral relations, the
5:19
president's stressed the importance of
5:22
continuing contacts, including on
5:24
military, political, and of course,
5:26
economic issues. There are enormous
5:29
prospects for mutually beneficial
5:32
cooperation between our countries. For
5:35
this, Donald Trump emphasized it would
5:38
not be possible to end the Ukrainian
5:41
conflict as soon as possible. The
5:44
conversation noted in particular the
5:47
symbolism of the fact that in the coming
5:49
days at the bicon cosmodrome
5:53
there will be a launch of a joint
5:55
Russianamean crew to the international
5:57
space station. This is a concrete
6:00
example confirming that the V powers are
6:04
interested in working closely together
6:06
and in the most important ways.
6:12
Various areas naturally this applies to
6:14
the sphere of culture which unites our
6:17
people who sympathize with each other.
6:21
Donald Trump by the way mentioned that
6:23
he personally admires the St. Petersburg
6:30
football was also mentioned. Vladimir
6:33
Putin, taking into account the Russian
6:35
experience in 2018, wished for further
6:39
successful hosting of the World Cup. The
6:42
leaders agreed to stay in touch and call
6:44
again in the near future. Our president
6:47
recalled that Trump's convenience is
6:49
always available. A valid invitation to
6:52
visit Russia is worth it.
7:00
It should be mentioned that the Russian
7:02
side was the initiator of the previous
7:05
telephone contact June 14th, Donald
7:08
Trump's 80th birthday.
7:12
And this time, American partners offered
7:15
to hold talks with Russia on the day of
7:18
the 200th anniversary of independence.
7:21
And that says a lot. Thank you very
