The analysis of the commentator of SIC Manuel Poêjo Torres to the international current.
Donald Trump has changed ideas again and gave Putin only now 12 days to end the war in Ukraine. In Scotland, Trump said he shrunk this period of 50 days he had given because he sees no Kremlin initiative to achieve peace. Trump warns that if Putin ignores this ultimatum, there will be strong US sanctions to Russia and also to the countries that buy Russian exports.
“Russia, since it started its operation and since it has been the target of multiple sanction campaigns – 18 packages of sanctions by the European Union – has always had the same dialectic, always had the same speech. It tries to sell Russian public opinion that Russia is immune to international pressures, Russia has a strong, resilient and cohesive economy that will not be disabled based on what is the Western sanctions. “
“All this is just rhetorical and all this is false. Because we now know that for the first time, since the invasion of Russia to Ukraine, the Russian economy has contracted 10%.”
This is one of the topics covered in the usual explanant of Jornal do Dia, around 13:45.
