In the midst of this, the United States has stepped up pressure on Ukraine. It has cut off not only arms support to Ukraine, but also intelligence support, and pressured Ukraine to accept negotiations to end the war.
Criticism of President Trump's lenient attitude toward Russia, which provided the basis for the conflict, was growing. In this context, President Trump applied sanctions against Russia.
On January 22, shortly after taking office, President Trump wrote on social media, "If we don't negotiate soon, sooner or later we will have to impose high levels of taxes on Russia and other countries.
"We have no choice but to impose tariffs and sanctions," he said, adding, "Let's quickly end the (Ukraine) war, which would never have started if I were president."
