US President Donald Trump used the whip to persuade the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, to participate in a peace deal with Russia. This was stated by presidential adviser Jason Miller, CNN reports.
So he commented on Washington's suspension of military assistance to Kiev.
"President Trump is the only person, the only person talking about stopping the killing, and sometimes leaders can use the carrot, sometimes they can use the stick. And in this case, I think President Trump is using a cudgel to go and get his point across to President Zelensky, and it is that President Trump wants to stop the killings. Zelensky should return to the negotiating table. He should take this seriously," Miller said.
