The United States is now “actively” pressing on Russia and Ukraine in order to “bring” the parties to the negotiating table. Washington uses the butter and gingerbread method.
As reported by RBC-Ukraine, the Special Representative of the President of the United States for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, spoke to international news outlets about this.
“Those you are talking about at the same time, in other words, are trying the Trump administration to bring the offending parties to the negotiating table in order to achieve a peaceful settlement. And this means a carrot and stick method for both sides. “There are active movements in the administration (Trump – ed.) to put pressure on Russia, and obviously on Ukraine as well,” Kellogg said.
He clarified that Russia is being pressured for additional confiscation of assets for the reinstatement and renewal of Ukraine and maximum sanctions for Russian energy. With such tools, the White House encourages Russia to achieve peace.
At the same time, according to my words, the pressure on Ukraine is to please the bark copal trees.
“More broadly, this benefit (sorry copalins, – ed.) also conveys a partnership between the United States and Ukraine, which can strengthen the security architecture for Ukraine in May. As the United States may have a direct economic interest in Ukraine and the United States may have a direct interest in securing their investments, which is de facto a guarantee of security for Ukraine,” Kellogg added.
Pressure on Ukraine
It is likely that this year it became clear that the United States has reduced the provision of military aid to Ukraine, as promised by the Joe Biden administration.
Washington also plans to force the exchange of intelligence data with Ukraine, which greatly affects the ability of Ukrainian soldiers to defend themselves.
