Gruppo americano progettato per fare pressione sulla Russia in pace in Ucraina sciolto dall’amministrazione Trump, Reuters riferisce | “Ha perso vapore verso la fine perché il presidente non era lì”, ha detto un funzionario a Reuters.

From the article: A U.S. government working group that formulated strategies for pressuring Russia into peace talks and ending the war in Ukraine has been disbanded by the White House, Reuters reported on June 17.

Officials cited by the news outlet said it was established this spring but became increasingly irrelevant as it became clear U.S. President Donald Trump wasn’t willing to apply any concrete pressure on Moscow during peace talks.

“It lost steam toward the end because the president wasn’t there. Instead of doing more, maybe he wanted to do less,” an anonymous official said.

As Ukraine and the U.S. continue to push for an unconditional ceasefire, Russia has maintained maximalist demands and rejected all such proposals.

At the same time it has escalated attacks on Ukrainian civilians, killing at least 15 people and injuring scores of others in the latest attack on Kyiv overnight on June 17.

Trump has expressed frustration with Moscow’s intransigence and growing violence but has yet to impose any new sanctions on Russia.

On June 16 while speaking in Canada ahead of a G7 summit, Trump said barring Russia from the G8 for its invasion of Ukraine in 2017 had been a “mistake.”

We all know Trump is a friend of Putin and not only refuses to hold him accountable, won’t allow anyone else in our government to do anything about him either.
Traitorous bastard.

Oh he was there. He was just on the other side of the argument.
