Google Translate of the above:
We must try to strengthen relations with the European Union, which, despite current tensions, is one of our main trading partners. We have many overlapping economic interests. Our common transport and economic infrastructure has been developed over decades.
I would like to emphasize that all our projects we are doing with Europe, including Nord Stream 2, are purely commercial in nature, they have no hidden political agenda. The key to ensuring security and stability in Europe lies precisely in expanding cooperation and restoring trust, rather than in building military bases near Russian borders or NATO military infrastructure, as is happening now.
We will respond to all aggressive steps that directly threaten Russia. Our colleagues trying to exacerbate the situation by trying to involve Ukraine or Georgia in the military sphere of influence of the Alliance [NATO] should think about the possible consequences of this irresponsible policy.
Of course we talked about this at my meeting with US President Donald Trump. Despite our differences of opinion, we agreed that Russian-American relations are currently in extremely unsatisfactory condition, even in some circumstances even worse than during the Cold War.
Of course, it would be naive to think that these problems, which have accumulated over many years, could be solved in a few hours, but nobody thought that would be the case.
Still, I think the foundation was laid for positive change, most importantly, we had a summit that allowed us to speak directly and broadly, it was successful, and productive arrangements were made.
We will see events evolve, especially considering that certain forces in America are trying to undermine the results of the Helsinki Summit.
But you know, I would like to say a few words off the minutes and speak in person.
We see that there are forces in the US that are immediately ready to sacrifice Russian-American relations for their domestic ambitions in America. They are ready to sacrifice the interests of their own companies, the million-dollar contracts and the Russian market, losing jobs in the US; Although they are not huge, they still have an effect due to their cooperation with Russian partners.
We speak of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. They are ready to sacrifice the interests of their allies in Europe and the Middle East, especially the interests of the State of Israel.
We talked about safety on the Golan Heights during the operation in Syria. But judging by everything, nobody is interested in it. They are ready to sacrifice their own national security.
Because we have always been taught that someone who works for the state for the benefit of society should first think about these basic interests and prioritize them, but no.
In the US, we see that there are forces who put their group and party interests above national interests as a whole.
Our famous satirical writers described such people as despicable and pathetic. But they are not. These people are neither despicable nor pathetic, on the contrary, they are quite powerful and strong if they are able to sell such indigestible stories to millions of people.
But they can do that. if they are able to sell such indigestible stories to millions of people. But they can do that. if they are able to sell such indigestible stories to millions of people.
But they can do that.

It looks like Putin and Trump have decided to do something about this.
Both are telling their people the same (Q!) thing.
Putin putting the ball in Trump’s court and saying this to his people, makes the issue a matter of National Security, and a roadblock to peace. Think Trump can do anything about that? Think it was a Surprise?
A “Russian speaking Anon” says this about Putin’s remarks:
“as a Russian speaker I can tell you that this is HUGE.
he emphasized that these people aren’t some small traitors but they are in fact very powerful.
His tone and manner of speech really delivered the message.
He emphasized both the influence and power of these people as well as the fact that their motives are personal and partisan instead of what is best for US and the world.”
