Russia’s special envoy for economic and investment cooperation, Kirill Dmitriev, has accused US President Donald Trump of undermining Washington’s global standing by targeting India and China, describing such actions as attacks on “great civilizations.”
Speaking to RT, Dmitriev said that India and China have emerged as the main engines of global economic growth, while the United States has lost its dominance in driving the world economy.
“India and China are the most powerful centers of economic development in the world. It is their growth that determines the growth of the world economy,” he said.
“The United States has already stopped determining the growth of the world economy.”

Dmitriev argued that negative remarks from Washington directed at Delhi and Beijing only push the two Asian powers closer together, while also strengthening ties with Moscow.
“Many people, in principle, perceive this kind of comment very negatively, as an attack on the great Indian civilization or the Chinese civilization,” he added.
“Therefore, as someone tries to attack the great civilizations, tries to deny their economic growth, Russia, on the contrary, strengthens its interaction with India and China.”

The envoy emphasized that Moscow views its partnerships with Delhi and Beijing as crucial to fostering cooperation with the broader Global South.
He added that Russia, India, and China — as three major economic hubs — are poised to deepen positive engagement with developing nations.
“We believe that Russia, China, and India, these three centers of economic power, will interact very positively with the countries of the Global South,” he said.
Dmitriev reaffirmed that Russia remains committed to “peaceful solutions and economic cooperation” with countries of the Global South and others open to collaboration with Moscow.

Trump Targets India, China in His UNGA Speech
This comes after the UN General Assembly (UNGA) address, where Donald Trump made several claims regarding India, including falsely stating that he ended conflicts between India and Pakistan.
Despite India’s denial, Trump insisted that he played a role in brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
“I ended seven wars… No president or prime minister, and for that matter, no other country has ever done anything close to that. I did it in just seven months. It’s never happened before. I’m very honoured to have done it. It’s too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them,” the US President said.
“In a period of just seven months, I have ended seven unendable wars. This includes Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, Congo and Rwanda, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Armenia and Azerbaijan,” Trump claimed.
Additionally, Trump accused New Delhi and Beijing of being primary funders of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war by continuing to purchase Russian oil.
He stated that if Russia was not ready to make a deal to end the war, the United States was fully prepared to impose a new round of strong tariffs, which he believed would end the bloodshed quickly.
“China and India are the primary funders of the ongoing war by continuing to purchase Russian oil. However, inexcusably, even NATO countries have not cut off much Russian energy and Russian energy products, which, as you know, I discovered two weeks ago, and I wasn’t happy. They’re funding the war against themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one?” he posed.
