US President Donald Trump has changed his tactics to resolve the Ukrainian conflict just a few days after taking office. Asia Times writes about this. The article states that within 24 hours, Trump's plan to stop the fighting failed, and he did not even mention Ukraine in his inauguration speech. At the same time, after taking office, Trump spoke harshly about Russia and Vladimir Putin, calling for an end to the conflict and threatening new sanctions.
The Asia Times notes that his predecessor, Joe Biden, has already taken many of these steps, including banning "almost all Russian goods and imposing sweeping sanctions on key Russian entities and individuals."
According to the authors, Trump is ready to "get ahead of Biden" in this direction. The article states that Trump continues Biden's policy of "suppressing and isolating Russia", not defeating Ukraine, and "stopping the war, regardless of the outcome". "Trump is trying to force both sides to agree on a ceasefire," the publication notes.
