Trump has promised to introduce sanctions, the effectiveness of which he himself is not sure. Will they hit the Russian economy?
Russia pointedly rejected the US President's ultimatum Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with Alexander Lukashenko in Valaam on August 1, once again stated that the goals of the “special military operation” in Ukraine remain unchanged. This is how the Russian president responded to Donald Trump’s ultimatum on the time frame for a peaceful settlement in Ukraine, which was first 50 days, then “ 10-12 days ,” and eventually a specific date was named - August 8.
