Russian President Vladimir Putin during negotiations with the West over Syria and Ukraine has established itself as a deceiver and blackmailer, but he will not succeed in deceiving the US President Donald Trump with impunity.

This opinion was expressed by the Russian opposition politician, former State Duma deputy Konstantin Borovoi in an interview with the Newsader website.

Asked what would happen if Putin deceived Trump and violated the agreement, Borovoy replied: "We have an example of how Trump acts in this case: he launches" Tomahawks ". Therefore, I do not think that Putin will want to experience the degree of flexibility of Trump ".

The Russian politician stressed that Putin is now trying to get out of international isolation without losing face.

"The most worthy exit would be for the Kremlin a situation in which the Russian side is recognized as a full-fledged negotiator. However, the previous experience of similar negotiations - on Syria and Ukraine - showed that Putin is not a negotiator, but a blackmailer and a deceiver. A little colonel who is trying to extrapolate the methods of running a dirty special service - the KGB - into international politics, "he said..

According to Borovoy, if the Kremlin reaches agreements with Washington, and then decides to break them, the existing sanctions will remain in force, and the threat of new ones will increase many times.

"This, by the way, is the main" carrot vice versa "for Putin's ass.

Toughening sanctions with high probability will lead to the end of Putin's regime, because in this case he will try to remove his very environment, as he will lose the role of guarantor of their political and economic capital, "the politician explained..

As reported by the "Observer", earlier in Russia summed up the meeting of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with US President Donald Tramp.
