Russia will continue with the invasion of Ukraine despite. The president of the United States has given a sharp helm in recent days: to be a conciliator and believe that he wanted to seal peace, to conclude that his Russian counterpart has no intention of ending the war. Trump announced Monday that he would send to Ukraine, prior European acquisition, without specifying. In addition, he raised an order to Moscow: if in 50 days he does not give signs that he wants to end the contest, he will impose secondary tariffs of 100%. Both Kremlin and Putin trusted men have warned that the US president will not prevent his war goals and that those attempts only give false hope to Ukraine.
“50 days, before it was 24 hours [Trump dijo que acabaría con la guerra en un día]then it was 100 days … We have endured all this, we have been holding the sanctions for all this time, ”said Russian Foreign Minister,” Russia has adapted to the sanctions so far and will adapt to the new [Ucrania]”.
The spokesman for Kremlin, Dmitri Peskov, said that Moscow “seriously considers some of Trump’s statements because they are personally addressed to President Putin”, with which his American counterpart has been said “very, very disappointed.” Peskov has said that the new US support for kyiv “will be perceived by Ukraine not as a sign of peace but as a sign to continue the war.” Peskov’s words contrast with Putin’s decision to reject a high fire proposed by Trump and President Ukraine ,.
“Trump launched a theatrical ultimatum to the Kremlin,” Dmitri Medvedev, former Russian president and a member of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, has written on his social networks, “the world trembled waiting for the consequences. The Europe of the war felt disappointed. Russia has given the same thing.”
Ukraine has received the new Trump position with ambivalence. The president’s office has celebrated that the US is preparing to multiply the Ukrainian anti -aircraft resources – unlike support during the years of President Joe Biden, this assistance will be paid by European allies – but has avoided commenting on the 50 -day period to apply new sanctions. It is precisely two months that remain of time to finish the time of heat and few rains, at which time the Russian troops are carrying out, increasing their pressure on multiple fronts.
In the United States, the 50 -day period given by Trump has been received by some analysts as a permit to Putin to continue attacking during that time, which expires in September. “He wanted to sell as a hardening of his position [del presidente estadounidense]but it is really a open bar to do what you want without waiting for Washington, ”wrote Peter Baker, The New York Times, which also regretted that the bill with new sanctions studied these days in the Senate is now suspended.
John Thune, leader of the Republican majority in the Upper House, announced Monday that he stopped that initiative, in view of the fact that “Trump will do something similar for his part.” Not so similar, in reality: the bill, which had 85 support among the 100 senators of the Capitol authorized Trump to impose secondary tariffs of at least 500%. These secondary rates do not directly affect Russia, but to countries like China, Brazil and India, which still trade with the aggressor country. The text, which is no longer going to be discussed, also imposed 500% to the low trade that still exists between Moscow and Washington.
An opposition politician to Zelenski, mayor of kyiv, shares Baker’s position, and does not understand “why you have to take 50 days to the Kremlin and Putin.” Klitschko, in statements to German Ard television, believes that Trump continues to think, erroneously, that Putin will voluntarily accept negotiating peace.
“Now is the time to approve strong sanctions on Moscow and synchronize them with the US. We need to maximize these sanctions to deprive Russia of their oil revenues that feed the war,” said Ukraine Foreign Minister Andri Sibiga on Monday. “50 days is a very long time,” added the EU Foreign Affairs Commissioner, Kaja Kallas. “50 days is a very long time especially if we see innocent civilians every day,” Kallas said in an interview in the newspaper The Telegraph.
