Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday extended wishes to US President Donald Trump. The country marks the 250th anniversary of its independence.

Putin recalled how Russia had extended its unequivocal support to the North American colonists. They were in their struggle for freedom from British rule.

Terming it a “landmark event” in world history, the Russian President said that in the course of two and a half centuries, many significant pages have been written in the history of relations between the two nations. Moreover, these events have contributed to their shared legacy.

“The signing of the United States Declaration of Independence not only heralded the birth of your nation but also constituted a landmark event in world history,” his message, shared by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a post on Telegram, said.

Putin recollected how Moscow and Washington fought as allies in the two world wars. “Together, they liberated humanity from the horrors of Nazism, and subsequently played a pivotal role in shaping the foundations of the contemporary world order.”

He added, “Today, Russia and the United States, as the world’s two largest nuclear powers, bear a special responsibility for maintaining international security and stability.”
