Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded..— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 9, 2017
...and safe. Questions were asked about why the CIA & FBI had to ask the DNC 13 times for their SERVER, and were rejected, still don't....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 9, 2017
The fact that President Putin and I discussed a Cyber Security unit doesn't mean I think it can happen. It can't-but a ceasefire can,& did!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 10, 2017
Reuters: Trump backtracks on cyber unit with Russia after harsh criticism
U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday backtracked on his push for a cyber security unit with Russia, tweeting that he did not think it could happen, hours after his proposal was harshly criticized by Republicans who said Moscow could not be trusted.
Trump said on Twitter early on Sunday that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed on Friday forming "an impenetrable Cyber Security unit" to address issues like the risk of cyber meddling in elections.
The idea appeared to be a political non-starter. It was immediately scorned by several of Trump's fellow Republicans, who questioned why the United States would work with Russia after Moscow's alleged meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.

WNU Editor: Republican, Democrats, the media, intelligence officials .... they are unified in their opposition to such an arrangement. Leonid Bershidsky from Bloomberg gives a case on why this may not be a bad idea .... How Trump Got Putin Wrong on Cybersecurity (Leonid Bershidsky, Bloomberg). As to what is my take .... the U.S. and Russia cooperate and work together on numerous intelligence and national security situations .... the war against terrorism just one example. Why not cyber-security and setting guidelines on the rules and regulation that need to be set on this evolving battlefield .... but apparently this is a bridge too far for many in Washington to accept.

Here is speech (in part) by Putin, trans. and very recent
"Of course, many countries of the world have intelligence services, but not all states have such a powerful and special tool as illegal intelligence. I would like to thank everyone who in difficult years – I am confident you know what I am referring to – have preserved traditions, continuity, experience, and the school of training in the sphere of illegal intelligence. Today, this capacity is fully utilized in service to Russia. It helps identify and block external threats in a timely manner and protect our sovereignty and right to be a free and independent country.
"You are well aware of the challenges faced by Russia. They include attempts to hinder our development, to provoke confrontation, and to destabilize the regions near our borders. In particular, terrorist and extremist groups are being used as tools. It is no secret that some of them are being diligently looked after, and even receive direct support from special services of a number of states."
