According to one source, restrictions will probably not include new bank sanctions, but other options for pressure on the Russian leader are discussed so that it makes concessions at the negotiating table, in particular, regarding the 30-day ceasefire that Ukraine supports and Russia rejects.
However, the publication writes that Trump may also decide not to impose new sanctions.
The publication adds that “Trump is tired of peace talks” and considers the possibility of refusing to participate in them if “the last impulse does not work.”
Literally WSJ: “It is unclear what will happen if the US is retreating from the peace process and whether Trump continues to provide military support to Ukraine.”
Details: For several weeks, Trump resisted Putin’s pressure for refusing to agree to the ceasefire supported by Ukraine.
But, according to WSJ sources, Trump’s thinking was influenced by three key thoughts.
First, it is his aversion to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, who, according to Trump, “encourages further conflict”, insisting on sanctions, although Zelensky agreed to the ceasefire.
Secondly, according to Trump, additional sanctions against Russia will not limit its ability to wage war, but will complicate efforts to restore US-Russian economic ties.
Third, Trump believed that Putin knew, and that the Russian leader would stop war as a personal service. However, Putin’s unwillingness to give in to Trump’s opinion about his Russian visa, especially after a telephone conversation last week, during which Putin refused to sign a ceasefire agreement.
That preceded: Trump on Sunday, condemning the latest Russian shelling of Ukraine, said he was considering the possibility of imposing additional sanctions against Russia.
