The US President Donald Trump is considering to “lift Russia sanctions” after pausing all military aid to Ukraine.
Washington is drawing up plans to provide Russia with sanction relief as part of the wider talks between the US and Moscow, a source has told Reuters.
The State and Treasury Departments has been asked by the White House to prepare a list of sanctions which could be eased over the next few days.
Thie list could include Russian oligarchs, however, it is not immediately clear what the end result will contain.
Alexander Voskoboinikov, a Russian political scientist said that the US President deliberately lured President Zelensky to the White House.
He told Solovyov Live, “What happened there was a pre-planned operation that was meant to show the whole world that Americans are getting out of this situation.
“At least, this is what they are demonstrating.”
Vitaly Tretyakov, a dean at Moscow’s State University, said on the show ’60 Minutes’: “I really like what he is doing right now… I like his revolutionary approach… He did our job for us that we did not dare to do.”
He added, “He is pursuing policies that are beneficial for Russia. “With respect to Ukraine, he is ready to give Russia everything it wants to take.”
