As stated by the head of US diplomacy, Anthony Blinken, the team of the new US President Donald Trump has the necessary prerequisites to reach a good agreement for Ukraine to end the war waged by Russia.
Points of attention
- The head of the US State Department recalled the important decisions of the Biden team that saved Ukraine from defeat.
- Blinken pointed to the gradual strengthening of the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy and increasing pressure on the aggressor country.
- According to the diplomat, Trump can really bring peace back to Ukraine.
Blinken recalled Biden's main victories
The American diplomat recalled the steps taken by Joe Biden's team, thanks to which "Putin's plan to wipe Ukraine off the map and incorporate it into Russia" was not implemented.
In his opinion, the fact that Ukraine has survived is the most important victory so far.
Blinken also added that the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy is becoming increasingly noticeable.
We see the impact on its future, its inability to invest in critical sectors of the future that could become a source of strength for Russia.

According to him, the sanctions burden that Joe Biden's team has imposed on Russia is becoming increasingly heavy.
Blinken believes Trump will bring peace to Ukraine
"I believe that the new administration is in such a position that when and if the Ukrainians want and decide (to negotiate, — ed.) — it can help reach a good agreement," the American diplomat emphasized.
Anthony Blinken drew attention to the fact that Donald Trump constantly talks about "good deals", which gives him an opportunity to demonstrate his skills.
In addition, the head of the State Department recalled that for a good agreement, a ceasefire must be achieved, which must be stable and long-lasting.
This, the diplomat believes, should not give Putin the opportunity to rest, rearm, and start a new war against Ukraine.
