“The US president said that he is considering this invitation. We will wait for an official response, an official reaction, ”Interfax quoted Ryabkova.
According to him, from all points of view it is correct, “if the head of state, which was part of the anti-Hitler coalition” and was an ally, “took part in the relevant celebrations” in Moscow.
At the same time, he pointed out that Russia does not link Trump's possible arrival with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin in a meeting of the G7 heads of state in the United States.
“There are no such linkages and cannot be, and it would be strange if we posed questions in this plane,” the diplomat said.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov after a visit to Washington said that Trump had expressed interest in visiting Moscow on May 9, 2020.
According to him, Trump has repeatedly emphasized the importance of this date.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, commenting on the possibility of Trump’s visit, emphasized that a visit on the occasion of the end of the war would be right for the country's leader, who made a significant contribution to the fight against Nazism.
