The political expert commented on the American president’s intention to “act from a carrot position” on his YouTube channel – to ease Russian sanctions so that Moscow would make concessions to him, writes the NBN publication.
According to him, such a step will only demonstrate Trump’s weakness, and will also increase the appetites of Russia and China in terms of strengthening their military and economic aggression in various regions of the world.
The journalist drew attention to the words of the US President that both Ukrainians and Russians are tired of war and want peace. The analyst noted that the corresponding statement is not supported by any specifics. To end the hostilities, it is not enough for Zelensky to express gratitude to America for supporting his country and talk about the desire to achieve peace as quickly as possible.
Portnikov argues that to stop the fighting, the Kremlin leader must agree to at least a temporary truce. There is no reason to believe that the dictator would approve of such a development, which Trump refuses to acknowledge.
Let us recall that US Vice President J.D. Vance named the “best alternative” to introducing peacekeeping forces into Ukraine.
