Russian ultimatum as permission for attack: Trump wants to distance from Ukraine - WSJ
This opinion was expressed by the exader of US President John Bolton, who worked with Donald Trump during his first cadence, in the publication for the publication of The Wall Street Journal. Commenting on the news of the US leader's readiness to supply the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, in particular, to provide additional Patriot air defense systems, Bolton called this solution the right step. However, he expressed the idea that this does not indicate Trump's commitment to Ukraine.
The exader Trump believes that such actions of the President, as well as the announcement of the 50-day ultimatum of Russia and threats of secondary sanctions to the Kremlin's partners, demonstrate his annoyance regarding the conflict of the Russian Federation and Ukraine. "Instead, they demonstrate its annoyance because of the involvement of Ukraine and Russia - a war that Trump considers Europe's business," Bolton said.
In the context of sending weapons to Ukraine, the Trump's exader also mentioned the news that the United States allegedly had to send the Armed Forces of the Far Radio Rada. These news proved to be false. Also, according to John Bolton, the US leader should not only send Patriot to Ukraine, but also call Congress for urgent scaling of the production of new weapons. However, Donald Trump did not.
Even so, he did not lose political support even among Republicans who had previously strongly opposed US military assistance to Ukraine. In the event that Russia violates the 50-day Ultimatum of Donald Trump, the US plans to impose new restrictions on Russia. First of all, it is about raising duties. In addition to duties, the Kremlin will face secondary sanctions. Countries that will continue to buy oil in Russia will also fall under sanctions.
