To mediate a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, US President Donald Trump has stated that he is finding it “more difficult, frankly, to deal with Ukraine” than Russia.
Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday that the US is “doing very well with Russia” and that “it may be easier dealing with” Moscow than Kyiv. Trump had stated hours earlier that he was “strongly considering” imposing significant tariffs and penalties on Russia unless a ceasefire with Ukraine was achieved.
After Trump halted military funding for Ukraine, space technology company Maxar informed BBC Verify that the US temporarily blocked Ukraine’s access to some satellite imagery.
It occurred precisely one week after Trump chastised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for being “disrespectful” to the United States during a remarkable White House discussion.
Following that public humiliation, Trump suspended all US military assistance and intelligence exchanges with Kyiv this week. Then, on Thursday evening, Russia launched a massive drone and missile assault on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
Trump reportedly responded to this attack by threatening to impose additional sanctions on Russia, which was already under a lot of them. He claimed that because “Russia is absolutely ‘pounding’ Ukraine on the battlefield right now, he was thinking about imposing fresh tariffs.
