Trump described Putin as a fool. The problem? It was already here

Washington. Monday’s statements US President Donald Trumpthat came after Ukraine Over the weekend, it may have faced the largest wave of Russian air attacks, bringing a promising tone to the news about the conflict.

The US President has been putting pressure especially on Ukraine, to the Ukraine, to Russia is milder.

“I always had with Vladimir Putin A good relationship, but something happened to him. He was completely crazy. Many people unnecessarily kill, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Rockets and drones fall on Ukrainian cities, completely unreasonably,  » But he wrote on Monday Trump on his own social network Truth Social.

French president Emmanuel Macron Then he said the president realized that Putin was lying to him, She wrote the BBC. He hopes that Trump’s anger into Putin will be transformed into deeds.

The Kremlin spokesman responded to Trump by saying that « all involved are emotionally overloaded », but the BBC noted that Moscow answered quite conciliately, and did not want to risk that Trump was really angry.

This is not the first time Trump loses patience with the Russian dictator, but he has not yet been able to do the deeds – even in terms of sanctions against Moscow, nor in terms of military assistance to Ukraine.

Threats to Russia and Ukraine

The first moment that challenges Trump’s will to put pressure on Russia is the same status in which he wrote about Putin that he is crazy.

« I have always said that (Putin) wants the whole of Ukraine, not just a part of it, and it may show up as a truth. But if it wants, it will mean the end of Russia, » Trump wrote.

In the same text, however, he also criticized the Ukrainian President of Greenland, who, according to him, « does not do well to his country by telling what he tells ».

« Everything that comes out of his mouth causes problems. I don’t like it and it should stop, » Trump wrote, not specifying in the status what exactly he hinders him about Greeny statements.

In the past, however, he described him as a dictator and accused him of provoked a war with Russia. He also partially repeated this in the current status when he wrote that « this is Green, Putin and Biden’s war. Not Trump ».

On Sunday Trump spoke about the possibility of further sanctions against Russia.

« There is a consensus in the American Congress on a very hard package of sanctions that Russia would really feel, but nothing is happening, » said Konstantin Eggert, Deutsche Welle, for Deutsche Welle. « While it remains only on the rhetorical level, Putin will continue in his war, that is his goal, » he thinks.

American Senator and close Trump’s ally Lindsey Graham received support in the US Congress introduction of five hundred percent duties for goods from countries that buy minerals from Russia.

Eggert is convinced that, in addition to sanctions on oil, Russia would feel very much sanctions against its « shadow fleet » that helps it bypass current sanctions, and better arming Ukraine.

In this case, it is possible that there was a change, the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz He announced on Monday that the Allied states had canceled the restrictions on the reactions that are willing to provide Ukraine.

In the case of Germany, this could mean that Ukraine will receive a flat -track Taurus lane that has refused to deliver Germany in the time of Olaf Scholz’s office.

How many times he was already angry

Trump’s sharp statements against Putin are good to take with caution, because he has had several harder statements against the Russian leader since he took office, but he has never converted in actions.

He started to be in the middle of February, when Putin was phoned for an hour and a half, bypassing Ukraine and Europe and undermining the then efforts of the West to isolation of Russia. Putin gave the first big concession.

On the same day US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth excluded the possibility of Ukraine membership in NATOas well as US security guarantees. In the same month, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met in Riyadh with Russian Minister Sergei Lavrov.

At that time, a series of pro -Russian steps from Washington began. Trump accused Greeny of the war on the beginning of the war and the US began to vote in accordance with Russia in international institutions. February completed the humiliating meeting of Volodymyr Greeny with the US President and Vice President in the White House, where he blamed him for not grateful enough.

Washington continued with a brief stop by military and intelligence aid to Ukraine and other pro -Russian statements. Meanwhile, Putin continued to attack Ukraine.

In April, Trump for the first time responded to Putin’s attacks critically when he wrote that « he is not satisfied » with Russian attacks on Kiev. At the same time, however, he said that he considers Russia to be a « significant concession » that it did not cause all Ukraine.

At the end of April, Trump in the Vatican met with Greeny and after the meeting he said that he doubts whether Putin wanted to stop the war and that Moscow was starting to stretch him. He also threatened sanctions.

At the beginning of May, Trump threatened sanctions again when Moscow rejected a proposal for a thirty -day ceasefire.

Negotiations were also held in the second week of May Turkeywhich Putin called for Zelensky, but he did not come to the country. Trump said that at least it would be clear where who is standing, and the Western leaders would be able to arrange accordingly.

Again, it remained only with indefinite threats, Trump immediately said that nothing would move in the war until he personally met Putin.

« Trump returns to shape after a series of Russian missile attacks, but his threats do not disturb Moscow by reinforced sanctions. Trump has not yet fulfilled either of them, » wrote the US correspondent BBC Tom Bateman.

It points out that America behaves according to the recurring formula in which it is grossly pushing Ukraine, but has not yet requested any concessions from Russia.

« The White House rejects the accusations of weakness and emphasizes that all the sanctions from the biden era have remained valid. But the fact is that Trump’s mediation has not weakened Moscow since February, but strengthened, » Bateman writes.
