On April 28, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio stated on Sunday that the United States would not expand sanctions against Russia to avoid interfering with the peace process to resolve the Ukraine conflict. However, U.S. President Trump tweeted yesterday that sanctions in the financial sector or secondary sanctions might be used to deal with Putin.
Rubio also said that Russia and Ukraine are generally closer to reaching a peace agreement than in the past three years, and that a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine needs to be reached as soon as possible. The United States has multiple ways to hold those responsible accountable who are unwilling to promote the Ukrainian peace agreement. (Jinshi)
