Russian President Vladimir Putin informed US President Donald Trump during a phone call about Ukraine's attacks on the eve of Victory Day celebrations in Russia and the prevention of the threat of terrorist attacks near the Kremlin on the eve of Victory Day, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said on Tuesday.
Terror threats near the Kremlin and Red Square were also foiled – part of what Putin called Ukraine’s attempt to "scare off" foreign leaders from attending the celebrations.
In the same call, the two leaders “reflected on the US-USSR wartime brotherhood” during WWII.
Trump expressed regret that, due to "strange circumstances," the two nations are now “not just divided – but are quite apart”.
Trump was "profoundly impressed" by the immense price Russia paid for victory in WWII
POTUS admitted: "When I talk about this in America, many simply don’t believe me – but the fact remains: the Russian people sacrificed more lives than anyone else."
