Dmitriev commented on the statement by American political activist Jack Posobiec, who wrote on X that the diesel deal between Russia and the US is aimed at helping American farmers, not Moscow. Dmitriev also noted that at the moment the 'ideological belligerence of thinking' of former US President Joe Biden is being rejected as destructive and ineffective.
