Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev credited U.S. President Donald Trump’s diplomatic team with preventing an escalation in the ongoing conflict, saying the Trump administration had already made “sizable progress” in negotiations to end the war.
“There is no question that President Trump’s team not only stopped World War III from happening but also had already achieved sizable progress on Ukraine resolution,” Dmitriev said in an interview with Fox News on Thursday.
Dmitriev made the remarks amid a high-profile visit to Washington, where he met with officials involved in ongoing ceasefire negotiations. He is the most senior-level Russian official to visit the United States since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Guest host Aaron Maté and Jimmy Dore Show producer Malcolm Fleschner discuss whether Trump deserves the accolades about preventing World War III and the Biden administration’s approach to nuclear brinksmanship over the Ukraine conflict.
