Apparently, the Russian Embassy knows things that we don’t:
The Russian Defense Ministry is ready for the practical implementation of agreements in the area of global security reached in Helsinki between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, the ministry’s spokesman, Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, told reporters on Tuesday.
The spokesman specified that the Russian military was “ready to intensify contacts with American colleagues at the level of the General Staffs and through other available channels of communication to discuss the extension of the START treaty, the interaction in Syria, and other topical issues of military security.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin attended his first face-to-face meeting with US President Donald Trump in the Finnish capital of Helsinki. The two parties discussed the current state of bilateral relations along with pressing issues on the international agenda.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul doesn’t know about this either.
Can you tell us the details of "agreements in the area of global security" which were reached? This is news to many of us Americans. https://t.co/pRQtoRpxZx

And McFaul’s got problems of his own.
From Meduza: "The Russian agency’s official spokesman, Alexander Kurennoi, told the news agency Interfax on Tuesday that McFaul is one of the Americans suspected of involvement in Browder’s illegal activities." Its not just an interrogation; it is an official accusation. https://t.co/nPd7ttohJ8

TASS– an official agency of the Russian government– has stated that the Russian authorities are seeking to arrest several US government officials in connection with alleged Browder money laundering scheme to help Clinton campaign. Sorry, but that is a very serious accusation. https://t.co/dbx7U6mnH4

Notice the Russian trolls?
Putin goes after his critics with a vengeance. The very idea of the Russian government arresting American officials is alarming. And I wouldn’t put it past Trump to allow it, that is what I would expect in fact. He’s that totally owned by Putin.
Hopefully the translator will be debriefed soon and we’ll get some notion on what was said. It can’t be soon enough. This is not looking good at all.
