Kurt Volker about Trump's relations with Putin and the war in Ukraine


“Trump did everything possible“To make concessions to Putin and present various proposals,” said Volker. He added that the US President tried to convince Putin to negotiate with all his strength, “in order to hang the weapon and that it would happen on the best possible conditions for Putin, and Putin simply rejected it“.
According to Volker, the next steps from the US should be reliable supplies of weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, for which Kiev can pay.
“It is not American taxpayers who will ensure this in the future. This will take place through loans for Ukraine or will be paid for European loans or under a raw material agreement” – he said.
The politician also assessed that the US should put emphasis on the Russian state budget. “(Russia) still earns on oil and gas and financial transactions. We must impose secondary sanctions as soon as possible, which (senator) Lindsey Graham proposed to the Senate” – he added.
He also decided that the ongoing dispute about whether the United States should save their own weapon or deliver it to Ukraine is a “false dilemma”.
“North Korea, China, Iran and Russia cooperate with each other, and their common goal is to weaken the United States and weakening the West. If we can help Ukraine weaken Russia, this is a very good use of our ammunition” – he emphasized.
The White House announced on Tuesday about the suspension of the transfer of parts of the missiles to air defense systems. As explained, Such a decision was made to “put America's interests in the first place“On Thursday, the American leader, asked why the US stopped the supply of parts of weapons for Ukraine, replied that this did not happen, and the United States continues to pass the weapon of Ukraine.
“We give them a weapon, work with them and try to help them. But (former president Joe) Biden has deserted our whole country, giving them a weapon. And we must make sure that it is enough for us,” said Donald Trump.
