Shortly before the planned phone call from US President Donald Trump and his Russian colleague Vladimir Putin, the United States increases the pressure on the Kremlin. Now the time has come to “test” Moscow.
Foreign Minister Marco Rubio told CBS News that Russia had been pointed out to the possibility of new sanctions and “very clear” in recent weeks. Trump and Putin want to call again on Monday and explore the opportunities before the end of the Russian attack war against Ukraine.
Rubio said on Saturday (local time) at the request that Moscow was made clear that a large majority for additional measures in parliament are popping up if there is no progress in the Ukrainian conversations. The government had asked the congress to leave a little delay to leave room for negotiations, but ultimately could not stop the process. When asked if Moscow just wanted to save time, Rubio said, “That’s exactly what we are testing.”
In the United States, sanctions are usually imposed with the executive power. With a sufficiently large majority, the congress can also prescribe it to the government.

On Friday, Ukrainian and Russian negotiators came together for the first time in more than three years in Istanbul to negotiate the war. Both parties were able to agree on a large prisoner exchange, but there was no agreement about it -the fire.
