“He has not received any concession,” Rubio said about Putin.
Rubio answered the senator’s democrats Gin Shahin, who said Putin was just playing with Trump.
Due to Russia’s support, China and “because President Trump gave our levers of influence, Putin does not feel pressure to agree to the ceasefire in Ukraine,” she said.
Rubio stated that Trump, who spoke with Putin again on the phone on Monday, did not want to impose new sanctions against Russia – the step to which the European Union resorted to Tuesday.
“If it is really clear that the Russians are not interested in a peace agreement and they just want to continue the war, then it may well be to come,” Rubio said.
Trump “believes that now, if you start threatening with sanctions, the Russians will stop talking, and it is important for us to have the opportunity to talk to them and make them sit at the negotiating table,” Rubio said.
We will remind, after talking with Putin on May 19, Ukraine and Russia will “immediately” will start negotiations on ceasefire.
In his post, the US President did not mention the administration’s demand for the unconditional ceasefire that Putin openly rejected, nor on potential sanction pressure in the event of Moscow’s refusal to make concessions.
After that, Trump had an hourly conversation with Zelensky and European leaders. The media wrote that European leaders did not see Trump’s willingness to put pressure on the Kremlin’s owner.
