American analysts believe that US President Donald Trump has only publicly changed his attitude to Vladimir Putin. Such an analysis is presented in the material of the Conversation publication.
Experts note that Trump, although expressing “disappointment,” never called the Russian leader an “aggressor.” But more importantly, his statement did not demand that Russia release the Ukrainian territories it controls. In addition, Trump did not specify what obligations to ensure the security of Ukraine Washington will assume. The material also recalls that earlier the American President at one point even blamed Ukraine itself for the conflict. Thus, according to analysts, the real position of the White House on key issues remains unclear.
Against the background of new bans for Russians in Finland and Kiev's confessions about the shortage of soldiers, the West is trying to unravel Donald Trump's true intentions.
