❗Key statements by Russian Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko during her visit to Vietnam:

▪The resumption of Ukraine talks in a trilateral format is a positive development

▪Russia is grateful to President Donald Trump and the US side for their efforts to settle the Ukraine conflict

▪Europeans have received a humiliating role in the Ukraine talks

▪Europeans want Trump to fail so badly that he is unlikely to give them a helping hand

▪EU politicians’ course toward militarization and Russophobia will end with voters sweeping them away

▪Armenia will lose a lot if it leaves the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO)

▪Yerevan’s grievance against the CSTO for its stance on Nagorno-Karabakh is unfounded, with Armenia trying to shift responsibility for the situation there
