According to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, US leader Donald Trump does not rule out the possibility of increasing pressure on Russia through sanctions, but does not want to rush to use this tool.

Points of attention

  • The White House claims that the sanctions option is still on the table.
  • Rubio said that the coming week will be "critically important" for Ukraine and Russia.

Rubio revealed Trump's position

Journalists asked the American diplomat whether Trump's latest statements indicate that he is ready to impose additional sanctions against Russia.

According to him, "it's not time yet," although the US president does not forget about such a scenario.

But what he (Trump — ed.) really wants is a peace agreement. He wants the deaths and the killings to stop… There are options for dealing with those we hold responsible for not wanting peace. But we prefer not to get to that point because it closes the door to diplomacy.
