WSJ: Washington increased pressure on Kyiv ahead of the Budapest summit.
Washington has increased pressure on Kyiv ahead of the summit with Russia in Budapest. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky left the White House after his meeting with Trump on Friday without any commitments from the U.S. regarding the provision of long-range 'Tomahawk' missiles," the publication states.
According to the outlet, the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is exercising caution regarding Moscow. Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Europe Daniel Fried noted that Washington is deliberately not using available tools to increase economic and military pressure.
On October 16, Trump had a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which, according to the U.S. president, "great progress" was made. The politicians agreed to first organize a meeting of foreign ministers and then meet in person in the European Union - in the capital of Hungary.
