The world’s political stage is once again witnessing an important event — US President Donald Trump made a statement regarding the introduction of additional restrictive measures against Russia and decided to send his special representative, Steven Witkoff, to Moscow. At a press conference held at the White House, Trump did not give specific information about the purpose of Witkoff’s trip or the issues that will be raised there.
According to the available information, during his previous visits, Steven Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and participated in important political meetings. What results are expected from this trip remains a mystery for now, but the US administration aims to conduct complex negotiations with Russia through this visit.
In his statement, Donald Trump described Russia’s new military actions against Ukraine as “disgusting” and issued a strong warning about possible sanctions. “We are planning to impose sanctions. Whether Putin is thinking about these measures or not, I do not know,” Trump emphasized.
Additionally, according to reuters.com, the US Senate Appropriations Committee has approved a bill to allocate $852 billion to the Pentagon for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. It is noted that this amount is 2.6 percent higher than what Trump requested at the beginning of the year.
In the current situation, relations between the US and Russia are becoming even more strained and entering a new stage on the international stage. New sanctions and negotiations may play a decisive role in the political disputes between the two countries. Experts and observers are carefully awaiting new developments and decisions.
