The Trump administration has turned the interdepartmental team, which should develop pressure techniques for Russia.
The Donald Trump administration has removed the interdepartmental team created to generate pressure techniques for Russia to accelerate peace negotiations in Ukraine. It was reported that there was a reference to unidentified Reuters officials on Tuesday, June 17.
The team that started the spring work gradually lost its support in May. As the resources explained, the participants finished that President Trump was not interested in strengthening the confrontation in Moscow.
Despite the pre -election promises to complete the Russian Federation against Ukraine on the first day of the post, in recent months Trump has been increasingly failing in the absence of development. According to the interlocutors, he even began to express the idea that the United States could leave attempts to achieve peace.
In these conditions, the work of the group looks less appropriate.
The final blow was the dismissal of most of the US National Security Council about three weeks ago, including all who dealt with the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian War. The group was repaired by SNB representatives of the SNB, but the State Department, the Ministry of Finance, Pentagon and Intelligence also participated in it. Among the main numbers is the chief coordinator of SNB in Europe and Russia Andrew Peak, which was fired in May.
It is not known who exactly gave the group to melt, but, according to the resources, after the mass cuts in SNB, his work became impossible.
Within the framework of group activities, both economic incentives and pressure tools, including Eastern European and Central Asian countries, have been discussed to limit the flow of goods and energy. Even the likelihood of influence in Kazakhstan is considered to enhance resistance to rotation of penalties.
At the same time, the group is not related to the penalties package, built in the US Senate. His task was to prepare options for the President “if he wanted to take a tougher position related to Russia,” one of the interlocutors explained.
In an interview in March, NBC News Trump said he was “angry and annoyed” by Putin for criticizing Vladimir Zelensky’s legitimacy.
Stopping the work of the team could strengthen the remembrance of European allies on the eve of NATO Summit, especially considering Trump’s soft rhetoric in Russia. Thus, during the G7 meeting in Canada, he called the “mistake” Russia’s exclusion from “Big Eight”.
It should be noted that it had previously been known that the United States was leaving the multinational group investigating Russia’s crimes during its invasion of Ukraine, including the actions of the chief of Kremlin Vladimir Putin.
