Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky stated that he and Donald Trump discussed sanctions against Russia, defense cooperation and drone production before visiting Moscow Steve Witco.
Thanks to Trump for “productive” talks on Tuesday, Zelensky claimed that Moscow is especially “sensitive” to the prospect of sanctions.
Earlier, Trump stated that if Russia did not agree with the ceasefire with Ukraine until Friday, it would face hefty sanctions or see secondary sanctions imposed against all who are trading.
Vitkoff will be in Moscow on Wednesday and is expected to meet with Vladimir Putin.
The Kremlin mainly overcome the threat of Trump’s sanctions, although last week the press -secretary Dmitry Peskov noted that the Russian economy “developed a certain immunity” by the fact that they have been under them for so long. Trump also admitted that he did not know whether Putin’s sanctions were concerned.
The US president may hope that Russia’s trading partners will be quite uncomfortable with the tariffs that they decided to cancel from the purchase of Moscow oil – they eventually bring a dent in income that the Kremlin should continue to wage war with Ukraine.
Monday Trump said it would be Impose a hefty new tariffs on IndiaThe main buyer of Russian oil, accusing her of not causing how many people in Ukraine kill a Russian military machine. “The Kremlin said that” the attempt to force the country to cut trade relations with Russia “were” illegal “.
In his telegram, the post Zelensky stated that he and Trump also spoke about “tightening” Russian strikes in Ukraine.
The US president has previously referred to Moscow’s repeated attacks on Ukrainian cities, signing the annoyance that the explosions often perform “pleasant” telephone conversations with each other and Putin.
Only in February last year, Zelensky was asked to leave the White House after a catastrophic meeting, at which the US president accused him of not grateful for his assistance in the US and “Gambling with the Third World War”.
Two men gradually repaired their relationship. In July, Trump said the United States would sell NATO members to “the highest weapons”, which will then transfer them to Kiev and this week that Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands and Sweden would be the first countries to buy weapons in the US.
Their combination contribution will be more than $ 1 billion and will go to air defense and ammunition equipment.
Denmark Defense Minister Truels Lund Pulsen said the speed was “absolutely critical” and that Denmark would be ready to consider additional funding later.
For more than three years from the full -scale invasion of Russia, Ukrainian cities continue to get into large bombing and regular drone attacks. Six people were killed in eastern Ukraine over the last day, the authorities said.
Before Trump, he repeatedly said that he would be able to end the conflict during the day – and at his will, Russia and Ukraine sat down for the first time in May last year.
But the discussions could not bring both sides to peace, and the US president was increasingly impatient to the lack of progress.
Despite Trump’s coming term, last week Vladimir Putin poured cold water for any hopes for a quick, long -term ceasefire with Ukraine. Although he said he considered the negotiations with Kiev “positive”, he also noted that “all the disappointments occur as a result of overpriced expectations.”
