Dmitriev is convinced that Trump saved the world from World War III

The administration of US President Donald Trump saved the world from World War III. This was stated on April 3 by Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), special representative of the President of the Russian Federation for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, in an interview with Fox News channel.

"There is no doubt that President Trump's team has not only prevented World War III, but has already made significant progress on the issue of the Ukrainian settlement," he said.

According to him, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump are conducting "good negotiations" on ending the conflict in Ukraine. Dmitriev also criticized the administration of former US President Joe Biden for not interacting with Russia.
