The statement by US President Donald Trump about the need to hold Russia accountable for her actions in the Crimea and eastern Ukraine is counterproductive.

This was announced by Russian senator Alexei Pushkov, close to the Russian president.

"Trump is embedded in the logic of Brussels. But the idea of ??"bringing Russia to justice for the Crimea" is very unproductive. Guarantees only a dead end in the relationship, "- wrote the politician in his Twitter.

As the "Observer" wrote, Trump held meetings with the President and Prime Minister of Italy Sergio Mattarella and Paolo Gentiloni. After the talks, the president confirmed the transatlantic unity with Russia over the annexation of the Crimea and aggression in the east of Ukraine, stating the need to convince Moscow to fulfill its obligations under the Minsk accords.
