On March 25, the United States announced that it had reached separate agreements with Ukraine and Russia on a ceasefire at sea and against energy facilities. Shortly thereafter, Russia set conditions, including the lifting of some sanctions.
After that, reports appeared that US President Donald Trump believes that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is stalling negotiations, and his administration is looking at the aggressive use of sanctions, including on the Russian "shadow fleet".
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the United States has determined the time frame in which it wants to hear from Russia about its readiness for peace. According to him, the US Congress has already begun work on a bill to strengthen sanctions.
Rubio also stressed that if Russia has a tactic of waiting and delaying, the United States will not be interested in this, and President Donald Trump will not fall into the trap of endless negotiations.
