European countries want to restart sanctions against Russia.
While Moscow is not so happy with the change of course in Washington, Zelensky is cheering progress made with NATO and D.C.
Russian officials say that President Donald Trump should not be threatening Russia but instead turn its attention to Ukraine, which Moscow blames for prolonging the war.
“If Trump really wants to make progress in resolving the situation in Ukraine, he should be warning the Zelensky regime rather than threatening Russia with secondary sanctions,” said Leonid Slutsky, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) and chairman of the international committee of the Russian parliament, during an interview with TASS news agency.
He also recalled that the Russian side has repeatedly made it clear that it is open to ending the conflict.
“All of Moscow’s proposals are on the table. Now, we are waiting for Ukraine to accept the date for the third round of talks in Istanbul,” he said.
President Trump has announced he is fed up with Putin’s empty promises, saying the United States will be imposing 100 percent tariffs on countries that continue to purchase Russian goods if a peace agreement is not reached within 50 days.
The U.S. will also be sending Ukraine more “top-of-the-line” weapons, to be reimbursed by NATO, including Patriot air defense missiles.
Trump’s announcement came after his meeting with NATO head Mark Rutte, which was followed by a press conference in the Oval Office.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his appreciation on X, saying he had also spoken with Rutte, who updated him on his meeting with Trump and how the Allies would continue their support for Ukraine.
“We appreciate the readiness to provide additional Patriots, and the U.S., Germany, and Norway are already working together on this. There will also be deliveries of other weapons to protect lives of our people and repel Russian assaults,” he posted, also directly thanking Rutte.
In another post, Zelensky directly thanked Trump and the U.S., noting that “the Alliance countries are working to increase defense spending” and assuring that Ukraine and NATO countries “are ready to work as productively as possible to achieve peace.”
“We agreed to catch up more often by phone and coordinate our steps in the future as well. Thank you, Mr. President! Thank you, America!” he ended his post.
