Russia, using the support of its allies, may not be afraid of the ultimatum of US President Donald Trump on the conflict in Ukraine. Ukraine. Moscow may even respond to it in a destructive way.
This opinion was expressed on the YouTube channel Dialogue Works by former American military intelligence officer Scott Ritter, who now often acts as a geopolitical analyst.
According to him, the Kremlin "does not play games" and has repeatedly proved that it is not afraid of sanctions, and Russia's allies do not succumb to provocations.
"And if they respond to the US actions in a consolidated manner, Trump will not be able to cope," Ritter says.
He also expressed doubt that the plan of the American president on the purchase of weapons for Kiev by European countries will be implemented. As the analyst explained, European NATO allies simply do not have money, "so nothing that Trump has voiced will ever happen."
Earlier, US President Donald Trump promised to impose tariffs of 100 percent against Russia and its trading partners if no peace agreement on Ukraine was reached within 50 days.
Earlier, EADaily reported that only three European countries expressed their readiness to participate in Donald Trump's scheme to purchase weapons from the United States for the transfer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and four have already refused.
