Trump started the conversation with Moscow from the position of force – news from Belarus

This is a positive signal.

The Donald Trump administration did not renew the license that allowed payments for Russian energy resources through a series of financial institutions. This license, which made it possible to bypass the sanction regime, was issued by the Joe Biden administration in February 2022 and expired on Wednesday.

This situation complicates the life for those players on the market who want to buy oil from Russia, for example, for Western currency. It is not known exactly what the volume of these payments is and how painful the absence of this license will be for Moscow.

At the same time, the media reported that the United States has resumed the supplies of GLSDB Glide bombs to Ukraine. According to Reuters sources, these weapons can return to the battlefield in the near future.

What is interesting is that this news is not accompanied by any statement from the high US officials. He talks about Washington “Removing the whip for the Russian Federation” remains journalistic interpretations and experts, but not an official position.

It can be assumed that we are now witnessing a form of public diplomacy, when the Trump administration demonstrates to the Kremlin the severity of its intentions, leaving room for maneuver and the opportunity to “render” the situation without significant losses. But even if it is so, the very fact of starting a conversation with Moscow from a position of force is a positive signal.
