Putin hails ‘historic’ Trump deal
Vladimir Putin has praised Donald Trump for helping broker the ceasefire deal for Gaza – and said that Russia stands ready to help implement it.
Putin said that if the agreement is successfully implemented, it would mark a major achievement and a “historic event.”
He added that Russia has close ties with the Palestinian authority and could help carry out the deal if asked.
“Bearing in mind the level of trust that exists between Russia and our Arab friends, and especially Palestinian friends, of course, I believe our participation could be in demand.
He told reporters on a trip to Tajikistan: “We will, of course, always be ready to participate. We have been involved in this for decades, and I think Russia has something to say and something to offer to address the issues that will arise, one way or another, during the implementation of the agreements reached.”
