Henri Vanhanen considered it shameful that, according to him, Donald Trump had decided not to implement actions approved by Congress that would have enabled tariffs of up to 100 percent on Russia's oil and gas for its largest purchasing countries. According to Vanhanen, Trump justified his decision with the national interest of the United States, and in Vladimir Putin's inner circle, the solution had already been described as a historic achievement. Vanhanen wrote that Russia's energy exports were significantly financing the country's war economy. He also reported that Ukraine had reported a shortage of Patriot missile defense systems, that Russia had continued bombing cities and killing civilians, and that Trump had demanded Ukraine stop attacks on Russian oil refineries. Citing sources from The Telegraph, Vanhanen wrote that Elon Musk had suggested to Trump limiting military-important Starshield satellite communications for Ukraine, which Trump had accepted. According to him, the restrictions would also hinder Ukraine's defense against Russian drone attacks. According to Vanhanen, Trump's negotiators were said to believe that concessions could bring Putin back to peace talks, even though, in his view, Russia had not shown a similar willingness to give up its military objectives. He assessed that concessions could strengthen Putin's perception of the profitability of continuing the war and that peace talks would require concessions from Russia as well. https://t.co/tTVKB82aQB #Trump #Ukraina #Venäjä (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that Trump has repeated Russian propaganda by blaming Ukraine, claiming that Volodymyr Zelensky is unwilling to make peace, and depicting Vladimir Putin as an easier negotiating partner. According to Vanhanen, Trump called Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries shameful, even though Russia continued to bomb Ukraine's energy infrastructure. He also referred to a Reuters report on the restrictions imposed by the United States on the Starshield satellite system used by Ukraine. Vanhanen said he did not remember Trump condemning Russia's systematic winter attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure in the same way. He described the consequences: according to him, newborns had to be warmed with hot water bottles, and elderly people had been trapped in their apartments as elevators stopped working. He also mentioned the murders, rapes, and other war crimes committed by Russian troops against civilians and assessed that Trump was particularly concerned about the price of diesel and the global availability of oil. According to Vanhanen, Trump could not credibly act as a neutral peace broker if he only pressured one side of the conflict, the victim of the attack, rather than the aggressor. He wrote that Russia started the war and continued it, and he believed that peace would not be achieved by weakening Ukraine's defense capabilities and rewarding Russia for the attack. #Ukraina #Trump #Venäjä (translated)
