In the White House, they replied that the Russian Federation was in case of Trump's ultimatum violation
"As the President said clearly, if the ceasefire agreement or peace agreement is not reached during this time, if Russia refuses to legally agree to ceasefire, it will face very high duties. They will also face secondary sanctions," she assured. According to her, countries that will continue to buy oil from the Russian Federation will also fall under sanction restrictions, which will cause "deep harm to the Russian economy". Earlier, Senator Lindsey Graham spoke of the same.
He recalled the threat of Trump to impose duties of up to 100% for countries that buy cheap Russian oil and support Putin's military car, which will hit his most painful place. "If Putin and others are wondering what will happen on the 51st day, I would advise them to call Ayatoli. If I was a country that buys a cheap Russian oil and supported Putin's military car, I would believe Trump President for the word," the politician said.
The Kremlin is not sure that the head of the White House will decide on some serious actions. The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov stated that he wanted to understand the motives of Trump's statement and noted that sanctions were more harmful to their initiators. "50 days, it was 24 hours earlier, it was 100 days, we all went through and we really want to understand that it is driving the President of the United States," he said.
