“We had been allies in two international wars, in combination we freed humanity from the horrors of Nazism, after which performed a very important position in laying the rules of the fashionable international order.
And as of late, Russia and america – as the 2 greatest nuclear powers -bear a unique accountability for making sure safety and balance on an international scale.”
Ending the message with a handshake emoji, Putin wrote: “I want you, Donald, and your family members well being, well-being, and luck, and happiness and prosperity to all Americans.”
