"Mitigating" its position on the Russian Federation: Fox News indicated what the course of the meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping indicates

"After declaring strong support for Ukraine and promising to end Russia's invasion, Trump now appears much less inclined to help Kiev or impose a solution to the war," the publication said. The publication writes that the change in position began imperceptibly from the moment when President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi and Donald Trump met in Washington a few weeks ago.

Sanctions against Russia's giant oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil, they believe, will be devastating for the Kremlin. "Sanctions are a step that has real consequences. . .
