According to Bolton, Trump’s ultimatum in Moscow “is perceived as permission to continue continuous attacks on Ukraine-at least 49.”
John Bolton believes that Trump can turn away from Ukraine when 50 days for Putin will pop up / UNIAN collage, photo UNIAN, screenshotThe President of the United States of America Donald Trump seems to be more interested not in the support of Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression, but to distance themselves from Ukraine – both diplomatic and military.
This opinion was expressed by the former adviser to US President John Bolton, who worked with him during the first Trump cadence, in the material for The Wall Street Journal. He noted that the decision of the US leader to send Ukraine additional defense systems Patriot was the right step, but noted that this is not a testament to his commitment to Kiev.
“Optimists about Trump’s intentions for Ukraine are given three arguments: his decision to allow Patriot; his 50-day period for Russia to accept a truce; and his threats with duties and secondary sanctions against Russia, if the truce is not reached. the wars he considers the case of Europe, “Bolton explains.
He recalled that the report that Trump would send Ukraine’s far -off missiles to Ukraine were false. At the same time, given the potential deficit of air defense in the United States, Trump would not only be sent Patriot to Ukraine, but also to call for Congress urgently finance large -scale production of new samples.
But he didn’t.
“The determination of Trump to avoid the consequences of longer military assistance has shown his unspoken motives. Paradoxically, his evasion demonstrates how the political and military alliances can work effectively: by passing resources between members for deployment in the most important areas. He did not lose political support-even among the state.
Trump ultimatum forSpeaking of an ultimatum that Trump put forward Russia (50 days at the beginning of negotiations on peace or ceasefire-ed.), Bolton noted that in Russia this step is “perceived as permission to continue the continuous attacks on Ukraine-at least 49.” According to Bolton, Putin’s dictator not only does not lose confidence, but also tries to manipulate Trump. The Kremlin owner offers its assistance in the regulation of the US nuclear agreement with Iran.
Although Trump says that he was disappointed with Putin, he still states that he “did not finish with him.” According to Bolton, Washington threats about the consequences that are waiting for Russia at 50 days are almost worthless. Duties will not bring effect, as exports from Russia to the United States in 2024 amounted to only $ 3 billion. At the same time, the threats of secondary sanctions to countries that import Russian energy “causes only mockery,” the former Trump adviser writes.
“Trump forms a way out of the situation around Ukraine. He met the urgent needs of Ukrainian defenders, but avoided long-term obligations. It is significant that he emphasized: Kiev should not strike Moscow. He showed” hardness “, giving Russia a 50-day period, but at the same time he offered only the elaboration of the Consequence “Fuse.”
According to him, Trump realizes that he has not even approached the promise to reach peace in 24 hours. And the US president is not interested in reminding of this defeat.
“I would be glad if Trump adhered to the principle of” peace “, as Ronald Reagan did. Vice-President Jay Di Vance, Taer Carlson and they would be very dissatisfied.
US and Ukraine: You could miss itRecently, US President Donald Trump has put forward an ultimatum. He gave Moscow for 50 days to reach an agreement on peace or cease fire in Ukraine. Otherwise, sanctions are waiting for Russia and its partners.
US Finance Minister Scott Bessent suggested that European countries impose similar duties against Russia if Washington is still in such a step.
