US President Donald Trump approved the sale of 3,350 extensive attack ammunition missiles (ERAM) in Ukraine, providing a potentially powerful tool in kyiv when he continues to deal with a relentless assault by Russia. The announcement of the sale, worth around $ 825 million, occurred Thursday, August 29, because diplomatic efforts to end the war have not yet given a result and after a deadly night of Russian strikes on the Ukrainian capital.
This came after the American president had had individual meetings with the president of Russia and Ukraine this month. He even announced a third meeting with the leaders of the two nations torn by the war.
‘He takes two in Tango’
Trump, questioned about the meeting between the Russian president and the Ukrainian president, said on Tuesday August 26 that it took “two tango”. He said, “You have to bring them together.” The American president added that his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, is not exactly innocent either “.
“It is no different from the worst wars I have ever seen, and if I can stop it – because I have a certain power or a certain relationship – I had a very good relationship with President Putin, very, very good. It is still a positive thing,” said Trump.
In addition, the president kept his short and catchy response when he asked about the comments of the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergei Lavrov, according to which Russia was not interested in a long -term peace agreement with Ukraine. “No matter what they say. Everyone is the posture. They are all bullshit,” said Trump.
Meanwhile, Trump has renewed his threat to Russia, saying that he would impose economic sanctions in the country so Vladimir Putin refuses a ceasefire agreement from Ukraine.
“It will not be a world war, but it will be an economic war,” said Trump. “It’s going to be bad for Russia,” he added. Although he did not put a new calendar to follow. But he quickly added that he did not want to impose new sanctions or prices aimed at harming the Russian economy, expressing the hope that there was still a path to the wound to end the war.
