Trump and the war in Ukraine
US efforts to accelerate a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine could unintentionally create conditions for a new escalation of the conflict.
US Senator Lindsey Graham believes the United States must significantly increase pressure on Russia, as it is not showing readiness for real negotiations. According to him, one effective measure could be providing Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles.
US President Donald Trump expressed the view that, in the long term, the UN could take on a key role in resolving global conflicts.
