On Sunday, US President Donald Trump said aboard Air Force One that he was "angry" with Russian President Vladimir Putin and would impose secondary duties ranging from 25% to 50% on Russian oil buyers if he believed Moscow was blocking his efforts to end the war in Ukraine. This statement became top news in many American media outlets, both Democratic and Republican.
Trump's statement was made in response to Putin's comments about the illegitimacy of the Zelensky regime and the possible introduction of external control by the UN in Ukraine. In the United States, talks have begun about imposing duties against Russia and increasing arms supplies to Ukraine.
The situation around Ukraine continues to be tense, and such statements by the American president can only worsen relations between the two countries. It is important that the parties take steps towards dialogue and peaceful resolution of the conflict, avoiding escalation and provocations.
