'He has no cards': Trump threatens to impose sanctions against Russia again and speaks about Zelensky and Putin.

Trump prepares sanctions for Russia

U.S. President Donald Trump, in an interview with Fox News, expressed his possible intentions to impose sanctions against Russia if a peace deal regarding Ukraine cannot be reached. He noted that only he can resolve the conflict.

'Listen, I had a rather tough conversation with Zelensky because I didn't like what he said. And he wasn't making it easier. I've always said: he has no cards. And he really doesn't. You're dealing with a huge army, with someone brave, who had great equipment, but...', - said Trump.

Additionally, the U.S. president mentioned the possibility of imposing secondary sanctions against the Russian energy sector, similar to those imposed on Iran. Although Trump expressed hope for conflict resolution, he did not specify the timing for the imposition of sanctions.

In his address to Putin on the social network Truth Social, Trump did not blame the Russian leader for prolonging the war. At the same Time, he expressed outrage towards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and accused his predecessor Joe Biden of a misguided course that allowed Putin to earn significant funds. Trump also emphasized that he considers the power of economic sanctions as a means of pressure on Russia.
