US President Donald Trump is toughening his policy towards Russian Federation leader Vladimir Putin, but has not yet increased aid to Ukraine. The United States does not understand what to expect from Trump regarding the Ukrainian issue. This is reported by NBC News television channel.
‘After taking office, [US President Donald – ed.] Trump stopped talking about the strategic ‘genius’ and ‘wisdom’ of [Russian leader Vladimir – ed.] Putin. Speaking in a markedly different tone, Trump warned that the Russian president, whom he once called ‘very smart,’ is leading his country to collapse by prolonging the war,’ the network reported.
In addition, NBC, referring to former officials from the United States and Ukraine, recalled that American officials were divided on how to end the armed conflict in Ukraine.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow was ready for talks with Kiev without preconditions but on the basis of the Istanbul agreements and the current situation on the front line, stressing the need for dialogue only with the legitimate leadership of the country.
