The media pointed out that Trump's threats to impose sanctions could not affect Russia's plans.

Statements by the American leader Donald Trump on the possible imposition of new sanctions against Russia will not change the position of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the conflict in Ukraine. This was announced on May 6 by the Unherd portal.

"The additional sanctions that Trump has threatened are unlikely to change the Russian president's plans," the article says.

It is noted that at the moment Washington is not able to dramatically increase the supply of weapons to Kiev, especially against the background of depletion of stocks of the Ukrainian side.

In addition, due to Russia's superiority in the combat zone, the United States has "limited leverage" over the Russian president on conflict resolution issues.
