Trump was previously threatened with secondary sanctions trying to make a sudden termination of the conflict. However, behind these occasional messages are hidden a consistent pattern of affection towards Moscow, the BBC states in the situation analysis.
US policy increases Kiev more and more
Although messages like today, in which Trump calls Putin to stop attacks on Kiev, I can understand as a diplomatic pressure, the general direction of his policy goes in favor of Russia. The Trump Administration, although still outside the White House, shows the readiness to further blame Ukraine to the extension of the war, which could have dangerous consequences for Kiev, standing in the analysis.
“One arm tied behind the back”
If the USA quits support to peace talks, the BBC warns, will probably reduce or completely abolish military assistance and intelligence cooperation with Ukraine. The European Allies would continue to help, but Kiev would remain with “one hand tied behind the back”.
Moreover, Trump wants to achieve the arrangement with the path, the abolition of sanctions to Russia and the return of American companies to the Russian market. Instead of weakening the Russian war machine, such a scenario could actually strengthen Kremlin and encourage new offensive in Ukraine.
A possible solution?
Still, the BBC points out that it is not all lost. Trump team wants to end the war and show it as success. And Ukraine and the United States wants the end of the conflict, but the big question is whether Putin wants him.
