Following the largest Russian air attack since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, US President Donald Trump appears to change his attitude towards Moscow, stating from the White House that he is ready to proceed with the second phase of sanctions against Russia after weeks.

It is noted that the US president, despite expressing his dissatisfaction with Moscow after meeting with Putin last month, had not so far been imposing more rigorous sanctions on Russia.

In the same climate, the US envoy to Ukraine said that the last Russian blow in Kiev, which hit the central government building, among other things, is no indication that Moscow wants to end the war through negotiations.

Earlier, Finance Minister Scott Bessed had said in an interview that the United States and Europe are considering a new round of sanctions and secondary duties in Russia, in the hope that an economic “collapse” would lead Vladimir Putin to the peace.

He said that Donald Trump and Vice President Jay Di Vans spoke with Commission President Ursula von der Laien on Friday, who then talked to him about the imposition of sanctions on Russia.

Last week, the US president asked Europe more economic pressure on Putin, including the complete stoppage of Russian oil and gas. Trump also called on Europeans to put pressure on China.

Russia is already under suffering sanctions from the US and Europe, but it has found buyers for oil and gas in India and elsewhere.

Russia has launched at night the largest air attack since the beginning of the war against Ukraine, affecting the government’s headquarters in downtown Kiev and killing at least four people, including an infant, Ukrainian authorities said on Sunday.

President Volodimir Zelenski said the drones and rocket barracks caused deaths and extensive damage across the country, from Zaporizia, Kivi Rich and Odessa to the Sumi and Chernichiv regions.

“Such murders now, as real diplomacy could have begun for a long time, are a deliberate crime and an extension of the war,” Zelenski said in a post on the X platform, addressing a new appeal to the allies to reinforce Ukrainian anti -aircraft.

The latest attack underlines the growing pessimism in Ukraine and the Western capitals for the immediate end of the war, as Russian President Vladimir Putin rejects calls for ceasefire and is reinforced by ever closer relations with China.
