And so it happened that yesterday (14) US President Donald J. Trump took multiple steps that were widely perceived as against Russia and pro-Ukraine.
To begin with, Trump authorized $10 Billion in military aid for Ukraine in an ingenious formula: NATO (Europeans and Canada – but not the US) will pay for the American weapons.
At the same time, the US president threatened Moscow with harsh secondary sanctions if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not reach a peace settlement with Ukraine in 50 days.
[Ukrainian MPs and European officials have complained that Trump ‘gave Putin 50 days to conquer Ukraine’.]
In the runup to this announcement the USAID-media did what they do: published a story with ‘anonymous sources’ saying that during his phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump would have encouraged him to strike missiles deep into Russian territory – including on Moscow.
The Russian side refused to give credence to this report, and today (15) Trump was asked about it.
Trump responded that Zelensky should NOT target Moscow, and added that Putin ‘should agree to a ceasefire deal by a 50-day deadline or sanctions will kick in’.
