🇷🇺🇺🇦There will be no negotiations unless Ukraine gives in to the Kremlin’s demands in advance, believes Steve Forbes.
“This can be called a capitulation in advance. Earlier, President Trump threatened new tough sanctions against Russia if Putin did not agree to a ceasefire. After the call, the president said that Russia and Ukraine should negotiate independently. He hinted that the United States could refuse to participate if the parties do not come to an agreement. This is exactly what Putin wants: for the United States to get tired of the conflict and wash its hands of it. He is counting on Washington not realizing the strategic importance of the outcome of the war.”
