Political Cooling - Will the USA Increase Sanctions Against Russia.


US President Donald Trump expressed his disappointment with the results of his recent phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump is dissatisfied with Putin's lack of willingness to end the war in Ukraine.
According to political scientist Igor Reiterovich, Trump's statements regarding Russia are unlikely to lead to the imposition of new economic sanctions, as the US president is not yet ready for this. Economist Oleg Pendzin also believes that there is currently no probability of strengthening sanctions, as Trump's actions in this direction are not coordinated.
Trump is Not Ready to Impose Sanctions Against Russia
Experts believe that Trump may not take radical steps regarding Russia in the near future. It is expected that Trump's actions may be limited to resuming the supply of weapons or transferring American weapons to European countries.
What Will Ukraine Receive
According to Igor Reiterovich, Trump's actions could lead to positive decisions regarding Ukraine, for example, resuming the supply of weapons. However, strengthening sanctions against Russia is currently unlikely.
Is Trump's Position Really Changing
Experts say that Trump often acts on emotions, so his actions can be unexpected. Political scientist Oleg Saakyan believes that Trump is currently reacting to the situation in the USA and the world, which may influence his position regarding relations with Russia.
At the same Time, military expert Yegor Checherinda reminds that the USA is a strategic partner of Ukraine, important in the context of Russian aggression. He emphasizes that without American assistance, Ukraine will find it difficult to resist the Russian threat.
