MOSCOW, Sept 8: US and Russia can prevent a third World War by working together, said Kirill Dmitriev, Russia s presidential aide on international economic affairs, stating that President Donald Trump and President Vladmir Putin are working on ending Kremlin s war with Ukraine.
Taking to X, the envoy posted an old picture from the 1945 Yalta Conference featuring Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill, and underneath it another picture of Trump and Putin.
He captioned the post: Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill won WWII. Putin and Trump will prevent WWIII.
The historic conference in Crimea between the Allied leaders was noted to have laid the foundation for post-war construction of Europe and the establishment of a new world order.
It resulted in the creation of the UN, called for complete demilitarisation of Nazi Germany, and its division into four spheres of influence US, Soviet, British, and French.
Putin and Trump have held several phone conversations and met face-to-face in Alaska in mid-August to discuss a settlement for Ukraine.
While no agreement was reached in the Alaska summit, the two sides praised the engagement as highly productive, with a noteworthy change taking place in Washington s earlier stance of calling for a permanent settlement rather than just a ceasefire.
Following the talks, Trump said that Ukraine cannot hope to join NATO or reclaim Crimea, calling those prospects unrealistic.
Despite a diplomatic breakthrough in communications, the US has sent mixed signals, as it has also warned of secondary tariffs on Russia — which currently has a duty 90% — taking it to 100%, if the Kremlin does not reach an agreement with Kyiv soon. (UNI)
