“Over the past half a year, President Trump spent a lot of time and efforts to bring peace closer. What he gets in response from Russian foreign minister is this. A new set of old ultimatums.

Russia has not changed its aggressive goals and shows no signs of readiness for meaningful negotiations. To the contrary, their ultimatums get more insane.

This proves that the aggressor’s appetite only grows when not faced with pressure and strength. Instead, it’s time to hit the Russian war machine with severe new sanctions and sober Moscow up,” the post by the minister reads.
