"Pressure on Russia and provide Ukraine with modern weapons": expert shares Republicans' opinion

The expert described these events in detail in his blog.

He noted that the US reaction to the recent massive shelling of Ukraine was quite active. For example, Special Representative Keith Kellogg called on Putin to comply with international law, which did not deter him, and Senator Bacon spoke out in favor of arming Ukraine powerfully. Trump’s spiritual advisor, Pastor Burns, also called for the introduction of new sanctions against Russia.

The expert emphasizes that within the Republicans, more voices are calling for punishing Putin and active pressure on Russia to provide Ukraine with the necessary support. However, it is now essential that these intentions are implemented. According to Reuters, Trump is seriously considering strengthening anti-Russian sanctions. However, the discussion of this issue has been ongoing since mid-April.

When Trump realizes the need for action remains a mystery. Italian Foreign Minister Tajani points out that the war between Russia and Ukraine will not stop, at least until the end of this year, and the Kremlin has no intention of giving up its military goals.

Trump also reacted to these events on his social network, Truth Social, expressing dissatisfaction with Putin’s behavior, noting that he could not recognize him because the US president’s perception of him was different. He also stated that, in his view, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky does not intend to stop, but without drawing any specific conclusions. The expert notes that now all that remains is to observe further actions.
