Recent events on the international stage have shocked many, as no one expected US leader Donald Trump to increase aid to Ukraine. However, CNN warns that it is too early to rejoice: the American leader is still in no hurry to impose sanctions on Russia, although he should have done so long ago.
Points of attention
- Despite concerns, Trump's actions have not yet shown betrayal towards Ukraine, and he has maintained a stance against Kremlin aggression.
- The effectiveness of Trump's ultimatum to Russia remains questionable, raising doubts on the outcome of the escalating tensions and the role of US leadership.
Trump's deadline for Putin may be just an empty threat
According to journalists, the new steps of the US president are really important.
First of all, we are talking about promises to supply Patriots, threats of new sanctions against Russia, and harsh statements against Putin.
We are ready to take decisive action if Russia does not agree to peace.

Although the American leader issued a tough ultimatum to Russia on July 14, it seems that this did not scare the Kremlin at all.
The Russian army continues to carry out massive attacks on Ukraine, while Putin makes his absurd demands.
The summer offensive continues, threatening the loss of territory and the lives of civilians. But the worst fears about Trump's second term have not yet come true. Trump has not betrayed Ukraine, has not abandoned Europe to the Kremlin's mercy, and has even become softer on NATO, the journalists emphasize.
As for the 50-day deadline for Russia, this is where the main problem lies.
It's no secret that Trump's deadlines, in most cases, are empty words.
"I'm afraid it will all come down to another conversation with Putin, who will promise a ceasefire and then say, 'Ukraine violated it,' and continue the war," worries former Pentagon deputy spokeswoman Sabrina Singh.
