币界网报道：During a meeting with German Chancellor Merz, Trump admitted that neither Russia nor Ukraine is ready for peace talks and mediation has failed. He revealed that Putin plans to launch a large-scale offensive against Ukraine in retaliation for the Ukrainian army's attack on a Russian air base. Although the Trump administration has tried to promote peace by repairing US-Russia relations and reducing aid to Ukraine, Putin has not shown any willingness to accept Ukraine's conditions. Trump warned that both sides could face US sanctions if the conflict continues, while hinting that even if the war continues, they will have to cooperate with Moscow on the Iranian nuclear issue. Jeffrey Edmonds, a Defense Department official in charge of Russian affairs during the Biden administration, said bluntly, "Trump is tantamount to surrendering. Now the key is whether he will continue to provide aid to Ukraine, even if it is symbolic."
