2. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Yuri Ushakov, Russian presidential foreign affairs adviser:
“The exchange between the presidents was conducted in a friendly spirit, it was frank and business-like. Understandably, Vladimir Putin’s first priority was to express his support to the U.S. President following the attempted assassination against him on April 25 at the Washington Hilton hotel. Fortunately, neither Donald Trump himself, nor his wife, nor anyone in his entourage was harmed. The assailant was swiftly neutralized by security personnel. The Russian leader resolutely condemned this crime, emphasizing, in particular, the unacceptability of any form of politically motivated violence.”

4. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Yuri Ushakov, Russian presidential foreign affairs adviser:
“Vladimir Putin views Donald Trump’s decision to extend the ceasefire with Iran as a correct step, that should provide an opportunity for negotiations and help stabilize the situation on the whole. At the same time, the Russian President drew attention to the inevitable and extremely dire consequences, not only for Iran and its neighbours but for the entire international community, should the U.S. and Israel once again resort to military action. Furthermore, the option of a ground operation on Iranian territory is viewed as entirely unacceptable and dangerous.”

“Russia is firmly committed to providing every possible assistance to diplomatic efforts aimed at finding a peaceful resolution to the crisis, and has put forward a number of proposals designed to resolve the disagreements surrounding the Iranian nuclear program. To this end, active contacts will be maintained with Iranian representatives, the leaders of the Persian Gulf states, as well as with Israel and, naturally, the American negotiating team.”

8. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Yuri Ushakov, Russian presidential foreign affairs adviser:
“Both Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump expressed, in essence, similar assessments regarding the action of the Kyiv regime led by (Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelenskyy, a regime that, incited and supported by European partners, is pursuing a strategy aimed at prolonging the conflict. The Russian leader stated explicitly that Kyiv is resorting to openly terrorist methods by attacking purely civilian targets within Russian territory.”
