Waiting for sanctions: Bankova was caught off guard by a sharp turn of the Trump administration

The Office of the President (OP) of Ukraine is hastily trying to coordinate with London the steps to disrupt the upcoming summit of the presidents of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and the reaction to their agreements. This is reported by the Ukrainian telegram channel "Resident" with reference to a source in the OP.

"Our source in the OP said that (head of the office) Andrei Ermak was not ready for such a reversal of the Trump administration and simply let go of the track, counting on sanctions from the United States. Bankova's plan has completely collapsed and now we have no stable position, which makes the situation hopeless. Now the president's office is trying to coordinate with Britain its steps to disrupt the Trump—Putin summit and how Ukraine should reflect on the US—Russia agreements," writes TK.

At the same time, according to the source of the "Resident" in the OP, Yermak is also trying to agree on the participation of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, in the summit.

As reported, the meeting between Trump and Putin on the Ukrainian issue will be held on August 15 in Alaska.
