US President Donald Trump has multiple levers to force Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to end his war against Ukraine. We are talking not only about economic measures, but also about military assistance..

About this in the OBOZ issue. Ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Vladimir Ohryzko said Talk. For example, if we now received long-range missiles, in particular Tomahawk, this would speed up the destruction of targets on Russian territory. Now our military has to reach them using drones.

“You can knock out this infrastructure with drones, or you can knock it out with those missiles against which the Russians have no defense. And do it faster. So this is a separate point that we must pay attention to first,” the diplomat noted..

If we talk about the impact on the economy, then these are, first of all, sanctions against the Russian “shadow fleet”, which transports oil from the aggressor country. And Trump did not say that he intends to abandon these restrictions.

" Trump understands perfectly well that if he puts pressure in this direction, Russia will receive a huge minus,” Ogryzko said.

In addition, Trump promised to maximize oil production in the United States. This, in turn, could lead to oversaturation of the market and a drop in prices, due to which the Russian Federation will lose some buyers and will even be forced to shut down its wells.

“In any case, Trump can, if he wants, of course, if he has the political will, he can put the Russian economy in a very difficult situation within three, six, or at most nine months,” the diplomat believes.

He also drew attention to the fact that Russian oil continues to transit through the territory of Ukraine.. Thus, we help Russia receive up to 6 billion dollars annually.

“I think that our government also needs to think about ending this reserve of funds for the Russian budget.. This should be our initiative too. Moreover, from a legal point of view there is every opportunity to do this. Yes, there will be a squeal in Bratislava, there will be a squeal in Budapest. Ultimately, you just need to have a little stronger nerves. Consider those who have a position. If we have it, we will be taken into account,” the ex-minister emphasized.
