ЛОВУШКА ДЛЯ ПУТИНА В СТАМБУЛЕ. Санкции, которые могут сокрушить Кремль

简介：

Putin initiated negotiations in Istanbul to avoid a new round of Western sanctions, especially those backed by Lindsey Graham. Moscow aimed to escape the West’s ultimatum demanding a ceasefire, which it initially achieved. However, Zelensky’s actions turned the Russian position into a form of mockery, not only of Ukraine but also of Trump, China, and Turkey, who had also pushed Moscow toward genuine talks. Now the Kremlin’s maneuver could backfire, as Trump is reluctant to impose sanctions yet does not want to appear foolish, so a show of force from Putin might backfire.
