Yuri Rashkin, a US politician and public figure, said that the Trump administration may see the lifting of sanctions against Russia as a way to end the war in Ukraine

He voiced this opinion on Espreso TV.

‘In my opinion, the Trump administration will use its influence to lift all sanctions currently imposed on Russia, and to do so as soon as possible. That is, for them, this could be a kind of scenario or a way to end the war in Ukraine. Perhaps Putin will be speaking in the US Congress in a few years. As for whether Trump will dare to strike at the countries of the axis of evil, no, because he is a peacemaker in the eyes of the Americans, not the one who will be the first to strike,’ the politician said.

According to Rashkin, Trump often said during the four years of his first presidency that peace should be achieved. And even when Ukraine was suffering from Russia during those four years, he still saw that there was peace in the world.

‘That's why we really look at the war from the point of view that the United States should not get involved in this war,’ Yuri Rashkin concluded.

  • Donald Trump began a series of phone calls with European leaders, at least one of which focused on the strategy for future negotiations with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
  • The Wall Street Journal wrote that the election of Donald Trump as US president disrupted the U.S.-led campaign to help Ukraine. Now the White House is trying to transfer as much of the unspent more than $7 billion in aid to Ukraine as possible before Trump took office.
