Trump's Russia Pivot Unlikely to Bring Peace to Ukraine, Says Finland's Foreign Minister
Finland's foreign minister Elina Valtonen said that Washington's pivot towards Russia is unlikely to bring an end to the war in Ukraine, and that President Donald Trump would likely discover this in the end. She expressed concerns about a recent U.S. order to pause offensive cyber operations against Russia during negotiations aimed at ending the Ukraine war. In her view, this approach should not work and President Trump's team will eventually notice its limitations.
