us President Donald Trump It is repeatedly said that he will punish Russia and the President Vladimir Putin If Moscow does not appear on the table and agrees to a ceasefire with peace talks or Ukraine.
Russia has not shown any signs of either the intention of either to continue and extend its attacks on Ukraine as it seems to strengthen the profit on the battlefield.
And yet, Trump is prohibiting the release of additional restrictions and a large Bazuka of economic punishment that can already damage weak Russia.
According to analysts, the reason for the standstill is strategic and is spread beyond Russia, which warns that the longer Trump is, the higher he reduces the position of himself and the US.
“The Russian budget is actually under great pressure … so if there were any other important restrictions that targeted Russian oil trade from the US, but it has not been done-it has not been done-which will put the budget under more pressure. It has not happened,” CNBC, the CNBC, the CNBC, said on Monday.
There were two important factors behind Trump’s frugality, Veeper said: The President’s desire to see as peace-on, and concern Russia is deeply pushed into China’s class.
“Trump still thinks that he can bring both sides to the table, that he can broke a peace deal, and he can take credit for moving the struggle towards peace. And keeping in mind that the announcement on the Nobel Peace Prize will come in early October, it is a factor, because we know the person’s character,” he described the “Squock Box of CNBC”.
“Second reason … is it understanding that if Russia loses, if Russia is completely separated from the West, and there is no way in the matter of connecting with the US and Europe, it has no choice but to go ahead with China, and will potentially strengthen China’s position.”
The analyst stated that bringing Russia and Beijing together would mean that there was “almost unlimited” access to energy resources, industrial materials and Arctic in the latter, given that it could effectively block the US from the Russian-controlled parts of the Arctic.
This will allow China to reach more access to Russian military technology, such as secret submarines and further opportunities in space exploration.
Washington officials were concerned about this, VIFTer said, “They don’t want Russia to be a more formal subsidiary of China. They want it to be more in the middle with engagement in the West. I think it is a reason that they are spreading carefully for now.”
CNBC has approached the White House for further comment on its strategy towards Moscow and is waiting for the response.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has noticed that Trump has allowed the self-justified time limit to work against Russia Pass, with Kev to Putin on alleged missing occasions to pressurize Putin in a ceasefire.
John Herbst, a former US ambassador to Ukraine and head of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, said in an analysis in August, “Ukrainian expected that Trump’s time limit would provide more constant air defense to accept a ceasefire of 8 August.”
Nevertheless, he was disappointed when Trump crossed his August 8 deadline to end Putin without consequences. Herbst wrote, “Instead, Trump focused on the summit with Putin, which has not yet attained Russian flexibility.”
He said, “They are now grinding their teeth and with many of their European partners, waiting for White House officials to feel that Russia is playing them – and Trump promised that if Russia continued his war on Ukraine, to take strong measures.”

“We give importance to efforts and proposals of China, India and our other strategic partners to resolve the Ukrainian crisis. The mutual understanding that recently arrives at the Russian-US summit in Alaska has reached the same direction, I hope. It hopes to pave the way for peace in Ukraine, I hope.”
Summits like SCO were creating a new political and socio-economic ecosystem that could change the “old” euro-nallantic-centric power model, Putin said.
This new system “will take into account the interests of the maximum number of countries and will really be balanced,” meaning “a system in which a group of countries will not ensure its safety at the cost of others.”
