Ukrainian political figure Mustafa Nayem believes that the most important thing in the Kremlin's statement following the conversation between US President Donald Trump and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is at the end: the discussion of potential matches between US and Russian hockey players.
Nayem wrote about this on his Telegram channel.
In his opinion, it's not about sports, but the image of the good old "friendship of peoples," which in both elderly men evokes nostalgic associations with the Cold War era — but without sanctions, without war and nuclear threats.
"Russia is trying to look like a "normal" country again. With which you can do business, launch rockets into space, exchange gypsies for bears, and hold joint events. They say, "Let's live together," while we simultaneously kill, rob, rape, and spit in the face of international law," Nayem believes.
Also, in his opinion, the Kremlin is desperately trying to return to the global economy, even despite the war.
"It is vital for Russia to become part of the global market again. Therefore, sanctions should be eased. All talk about "prospects for cooperation" is nothing more than a veiled offer: you can come to an agreement, find opportunities, make deals. Make some deal," Nayem noted.
As is known, the American and Russian sides have released the official results of the 1.5-hour telephone conversation between the leader of the United States, Donald Trump, and the dictator of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, held on March 18. In particular, they announced an agreement on an "energy and infrastructure" ceasefire between the parties.
