More from Putin’s aide Yuri Ushakov:

Terror threats near the Kremlin and Red Square were also foiled – part of what Putin called Ukraine’s attempt to "scare off" foreign leaders from attending the celebrations

In the same call, the two leaders “reflected on the US-USSR wartime brotherhood” during WWII

Trump expressed regret that, due to "strange circumstances," the two nations are now “not just divided – but are quite apart”

Trump was "profoundly impressed" by the immense price Russia paid for victory in WWII

POTUS admitted: "When I talk about this in America, many simply don’t believe me – but the fact remains: the Russian people sacrificed more lives than anyone else."
