Yesterday's statements by the head of the White House, Donald Trump, are quite serious, but the Russian president will respond to them if he deems it necessary. This was stated by Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
"The statements of the US president are very serious, something in them is addressed personally to President Putin. We certainly need time to analyze what was said in Washington, — he noted. — In the meantime, one thing can be said unequivocally: it seems that a similar decision, which is being made in Washington, and in NATO countries, and directly in In Brussels, the Ukrainian side is perceived not as a signal for peace, but as a signal for the continuation of the war."
Europe also wants an escalation of hostilities. At the same time, Moscow remains ready for the third round of negotiations with Kiev, but proposals for a meeting have not yet been received, and Washington wants to see a dialogue between the parties.
As EADaily reported, on July 14, President Donald Trump said that the United States would impose duties on goods from the Russian Federation in the amount of 100% and secondary sanctions against countries purchasing Russian oil if no ceasefire agreement was reached between Russia and Ukraine.
