Wall Street Journal: Clag and Rubio are looking for a harder stance on Russia

Among these senior US officials, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and US envoy to Ukraine, who have advised US President Donald Trump to treat Putin cautiously and even take a staunch stance on Moscow’s demands for land privileges.

According to the Wall Street Journal, of course, Trump is still a fan of US President Steve Witekaf, who is seeking peace after traveling to Moscow.

Russia has rejected Trump’s request for a ceasefire and slows down his efforts to stop the clashes. Russia is playing for time to exploit its field progress and get maximum points in the negotiations.

Trump hopes to stop Ukraine’s war to some extent to eliminate the great obstacle to approaching the Kremlin. At times, he seems to be disbelief for Putin, but has not fulfilled his threat to impose new sanctions on Russian oil exports.

Even Trump’s advisers, who are in favor of a more rigorous approach to Moscow, support his goal to stop the three -year war in Ukraine.

According to US officials, Rubio and Clag have advised Trump to take care of Putin’s diplomatic intentions during the White House talks on whether the United States should raise Russian sanctions to force the country to negotiate.

Daniel Fried, a senior US State Department official, also told the Wall Street Journal that the US State Department and the US Treasury Department are preparing options to tighten anti -Russian sanctions.
