American -Russian relations met last week sudden escalation of tension when Trump ordered the development of two nuclear submarines following an online controversy with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
Witten, Donald Trump’s man for “peace missions”, arrived earlier today in the Russian capital to meet with the Russian leadership. The official has repeatedly met with Putin, but none of these meetings did.
The US president then gave Moscow ten days to end the attack on Ukraine under the threat of new sanctions against Russia.
Ukraine President Volodimir Zelenski again asked Washington to increase pressure on Russia to force her to stop the attack.
“It is very important to strengthen all the means of pressure available to the United States, Europe and the 7 against Russia, he said through social networks. “The Kremlin will not actually seek to end this war until it feels that it is sufficiently pressured.”
