Donald Trump justifies lifting some sanctions imposed on Russia and accuses Volodymyr Zelenskyy of not wanting to end the war: “He does not want to put an end to this war and probably never did”

President of the United States Donald Trump defended his decision to suspend some sanctions imposed on Russia, arguing that the measure is justified by the need to encourage an end to the war in Ukraine. At the same time, the American leader accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of not wanting to end the conflict.

Donald Trump’s statements mark a new public stance toward the sanctions imposed on Moscow and responsibility for the continuation of the war. In the available information, the American president did not provide details about the suspended sanctions, the duration of the measure, or the conditions associated with it.

Trump nevertheless linked the decision to the objective of stopping the conflict and criticized the attitude of the leader in Kyiv. According to the accusations made by the US president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy does not agree with a solution that would lead to the end of the war.

The suspension of some sanctions against Russia and the public dispute between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy may influence the diplomatic pressure exerted on Moscow and Kyiv.
