Dmitriev: "Vance understands that Europe's main problem is not Russia"

US Vice President J.D. Vance understands that the main problem for Europe is not Russia, and is openly speaking about what European politicians are “whispering in the corridors,” said Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and special representative of the Russian President for economic cooperation with foreign countries.
“US Vice President Vance clearly sees the reality: the main problem for Europe is not Russia,” he wrote on the Telegram channel.
Dmitriev added that “Vance calls things by their names, unlike Brussels bureaucrats who hide behind the usual slogans.”
Earlier, in an interview with Newsmax, the US Vice President said that Europe does not need new enemies, but a frank conversation about its own mistakes. “European politicians are mistaken in claiming that Russia is the main threat to Europe, while in fact the threat comes from their own internal problems,” Vance noted.
