WASHINGTON May 5, 2005 — The White House on Thursday sought to calm Russian anger over the U.S. call for Moscow to renounce the Soviet Union's 1940 annexation of Baltic states, even as President Bush promised to raise the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
But the president and White House aides were vague on whether Bush would specifically ask Putin to do so.
They said it would be an insult to the 27 million Soviets who died during the war and argued that the countries willingly joined the U.S.S.R. "One cannot use the term `occupation' to describe those historical events," Sergei Yastrzhembsky, Putin's special representative for ties with the European Union, said Thursday.
