Maciej Czarnecki: Gazeta Wyborcza:“Trump has cards against Putin”‘John E. Herbst, erstwhile U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, emphasizes that Donald Trump has tools to end Putin's aggression but may not usage them. Although he initially threatened to sanction and arm Ukraine, he rapidly softened his position after gathering Putin. Herbst points out that Putin does not hide the intention to control Ukraine and the erstwhile republics of the USSR, which poses a threat to NATO and the US. Effective force on Russia would require many months of sanctions and military support, and Trump expects fast effects. Despite the hazard of turning distant from Kiev, most Americans support Ukraine's aid and Republicans do not trust Putin."
