🇷🇺🇺🇸 Key Points from Yury Ushakov’s Statement on Putin–Trump Call:

➡️Putin informed Trump that on the night of May 7, Russian security services thwarted attempted terrorist attacks near the Kremlin and Red Square.

➡️He pointed out that those trying to intimidate foreign leaders attending the May 9 Victory Day events are the same forces that glorify Nazis.

➡️Putin told Trump that Ukraine launched 524 drones and Storm Shadow missiles against Russia during the night of May 7.

➡️He emphasized the importance of the 80th anniversary of Victory Day, marked on May 9.

➡️Trump expressed deep admiration for the immense human cost paid by Russians in the Great Patriotic War.

➡️He told Putin that while many in the U.S. don’t believe him, the fact remains: Russians made the greatest sacrifice in defeating Nazi Germany.

➡️The two also discussed U.S. General Douglas MacArthur and his warnings about the dangers of revived militarism.

🐻 A few points here directly contradict Trump’s recent social media claims about who really played the biggest role in defeating the Nazis — but that’s Trump for you.

🇷🇺💬🇺🇦 The Ukrainian delegation in Istanbul spoke in Russian, and the opening remarks were read in English, Maria Zakharova said in response to a question from TASS.

The Ukrainian authorities are "stealing" the Russian language from their citizens, while they themselves espeak Russian during official negotiations, she said.

Kiev's declarations demanding that the Russian language be forgotten, and people be persecuted for it are yet another set-up to "fool" their citizens.
