The NYT pointed to Trump's concerns about his own strategy towards Russia.

US President Donald Trump is not sure that his chosen strategy towards Russia is the right one. The New York Times (NYT) wrote about this on July 30.

Just 24 hours after President Trump threatened Russia with financial sanctions over the Ukraine conflict, on Tuesday he seemed unsure whether this strategy would work at all.

The authors note that the head of the White House has repeatedly threatened Moscow with various measures because of the situation in Ukraine, but has not begun to put his words into practice.

"In the midst of [Russia's] summer offensive, Kiev's reserves are depleted, and Moscow is making progress," writes the NYT.

Atlantic Solitaire: why Trump threatens to shorten the deadline for an ultimatum to Russia

Meanwhile, Britain is urging the United States to speed up arms supplies to Kiev.

On July 28, Trump shortened the deadline for reaching an agreement on the Ukrainian conflict to 10-12 days. According to him, the 50-day deadline he set before that was "generous." The next day, the American leader said he was not sure of the effectiveness of the sanctions he intended to impose after the deadline.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that Russia had taken note of the US president's statements about shortening the deadline for reaching an agreement on the conflict in Ukraine, but the special military operation (SVO) was taking its course.

On July 29, Trump said in an interview with Miranda Devine that his dialogues with Russian President Vladimir Putin were excellent. According to the US president, he felt that he and the Russian leader had already agreed on ways to resolve the conflict "about four times."
