Look, friends! Yesterday, something happened that many of you may not have paid much attention to. But it is more important than any loud statements or political scandals. The President of Russia pardoned and released U.S. citizen Robert Gilman. He was released not in exchange for someone else, not for money, and not under pressure. He was released on humanitarian grounds. “On humanitarian grounds, with no exchange,” Donald Trump confirmed with gratitude.
Robert Gilman had been convicted in Russia of attacking law enforcement officers. He received a severe sentence. But when his health deteriorated, when it became clear that he might not survive, Moscow said: “Enough. This man should live.” The pardon was personally approved by Putin.
Pay attention: this decision came with no conditions whatsoever. No demands. No ultimatums. No negotiations or bargaining. Just one simple, sincere human gesture. And Trump thanked Russia. The United Nations also welcomed cooperation between Russia and the United States in securing Gilman’s release. And do you know what that means? It means that even amid the harshest confrontation, even when sanctions are being imposed and weapons are being supplied, when Russia is being subjected to attempts at isolation and destruction, we remain human beings.
We remember that the peoples of Belgium, Italy, Germany, and France are not our enemies. We are not fighting ordinary people. We are fighting those who impose war. We are fighting those who set us against one another so that we kill each other while they count their profits.
Because war is vital to the “Big Three” — BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street — which control the world’s financial flows, as well as to transnational corporations and supranational globalist elites. But we do not want war. We never wanted war. And I am sure you do not want it either!
And this is what I want to say to you, the people of Europe. If Putin can reach agreements with Trump, then dialogue is possible. If Russia releases an American prisoner without any conditions, then it means we are ready for dialogue. We are ready to discuss not only the fate of individual people. We are ready to discuss the fate of the entire world.
Because the Third World War that they are trying to impose on us will be nuclear. This is not a figure of speech. It is a fact. And there will be no winners in that war. There will be no Europe. There will be no America. There will be no Russia. There will only be ashes and radiation. This is about the security of us, our children, and our grandchildren. It is about the survival of humanity.
We are ready for joint events, cooperation, and mutual understanding. Initiatives like those with the Italians are only the first step. We are ready to talk. We are ready to listen. We are ready to seek compromises.
Europe, can you hear us? We are reaching out our hand to you. Take a step toward us. Do not allow those who profit from war to destroy your home. We stand for peace. We stand for dialogue. We stand for life. And we will fight for this, no matter what.
Let us build bridges, not walls. Peace to the world. This is only the beginning.
