Trump shortens the period of peace for Ukraine, but will the Kremlin react to it? Insight into the changing rhetoric and the uncertain perspectives of the conflict.
Trump shortens peace period for Ukraine - is that interested in the Kremlin?
If you look at Donald Trump's latest statements, the patience of the US President with the Kremlin seems to be increasingly running. During a speech in his golf resort in Turnberry, together with the British Prime Minister KEIR, Trump was surprising known that he was set his own 50-day period for Moscow two weeks ago to achieve a peace treaty with ukraine to only shortened to only 10 to 12 days.
Trump's new deadlines and threats
"I will set a new period of about 10 or 12 days from today," Trump told journalists on Monday. "There is no reason to wait. I want to be generous, but we just don't see any progress," added the president. The question arises why Trump ordered a further waiting time of 10 to 12 days before implementing his threat to high tariffs to Russia and strict sanctions against countries, which is Buy Russian oil.
a change in rhetoric?
Trump's attitude to the Ukraine crisis, which in the past few months between the accusation of Kiev and Moscow, to be responsible for the continuing fights, now seems to have struck a more consistent and predominantly critical tone towards the Kremlin and his leader Vladimir Putin. "We thought we had clarified this several times, and then President Putin starts and lets rockets fire into a city like Kiev and kills many people in an old people's home or something," said Trump on Monday.
The reaction of the Kremlin
It is unlikely that threats to additional sanctions on Russia, which is already one of the most sanctioned countries in the world, will dissuade the Kremlin from its maximum goals. These include control over large parts of the annexed Ukrainian territory and the enforcement of strict military and foreign policy restrictions on a post-warrior Ukraine that would subject Kiev de facto Moscow's will.
economic effects of the sanctions
The pre -shift of these threats by a few weeks could have little influence on the adamant considerations of the Kremlin. In particular, the 100 % tariffs to Russian exports threatened by Trump are considered almost meaningless in a country that operates only a few billion dollars with the United States. Trump's threats against countries that buy Russian oil could be more important. However, the biggest importers are India and China as well as several European countries.
