Trump intends to ‘reset’ relations with Russia – Politico

US President Donald Trump is seeking to rebuild relations with Russia, Politico writes.

‘It’s very clear that something is keeping him [Trump – ed.] from actually putting more pressure on [Russian President Vladimir – ed.] Putin. He may want a reset in relations with Russia more than anything else, even more than peace in Ukraine,’ the publication quoted a European official as saying.

According to Politico, Donald Trump realises the likelihood of deterioration of relations with Russia, provided the end of the armed conflict in Ukraine.

We shall remind you that earlier special envoy of the US president Keith Kellogg said that the United States was ready to stop NATO’s eastward expansion and that Ukraine’s accession to the alliance was out of the question.
