Talks between a Russian delegation led by Kirill Dmitriev, President Vladimir Putin’s aide, and representatives of the administration of US President Donald Trump, continued into the third day on Sunday.

The Russian delegation has been busy communicating Moscow’s position to their US counterparts, Dmitriev, who heads the Russian Direct Investment Fund, said in a video address posted on Telegram.

“We’re clearly communicating President Putin’s position that only constructive, respectful dialogue will bear fruit. Any attempts to pressure Russia are simply pointless,” Dmitriev stated, adding that the Ukraine conflict can be resolved only through “eradicating its root causes.”

That d*mn Trump keeps meddling in international affairs when a dynamic international expert negotiator like Joe Biden avoided it and all Barack Obama could do was draw a red line in the sand.

Any attempts to pressure Russia are simply pointless,” Dmitriev stated, adding that the Ukraine conflict can be resolved only through “eradicating its root causes.”

The "root cause" here is the independence of Ukraine.

“For once, albeit accidentally, Putin has told the truth: Long-term peace in Ukraine is only possible by ‘eliminating the root causes of this crisis.’ The main ‘root cause’ is an old deranged KGB officer in the Kremlin who views the collapse of the Soviet empire as ‘the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century,’ calls his opponents ‘national traitors’ and Ukraine an ‘artificial state,’ and idolizes Stalin and Andropov. Without ‘eliminating’ this ‘root cause’ there will not be peace not only in Ukraine, but in Europe as a whole.”
