The changes in the rhetoric of US President Donald Trump regarding the Ukrainian conflict should be regarded as part of his negotiation strategy.
This is reported by Semafor, citing a source. The article notes that Trump has toughened his rhetoric against Russian President Vladimir Putin, launched a bill on punitive sanctions and resumes the suspended supply of weapons to Kiev.
All this caused delight among Republican hawks who advocate Washington's confrontation with Moscow. However, their joy may be premature.
"Some of Trump's allies believe that this is part of his negotiating plan, and not a specific shift in the president's position on Ukraine," the article says.
The agency's source considers the shift in the position of the head of the White House to be an encrypted message to Moscow and Kiev.
"It is important for both Putin and Zelensky to know that if they do not make concessions, anything is possible," the source said.
Earlier, EADaily reported that US President Donald Trump plans to use for the first time in his second term the presidential right to allocate military assistance to Ukraine from US stocks for $ 300 million.
