For the #Kremlin, perhaps the most important message came in later remarks by #Trump, who suggested that if #Ukraine did not agree to a “cease-fire now,” the war-torn country would have to “fight it out” w/o American help.
That could set up an outcome that #Putin has long sought, at the cost of tens of thousands of Russian lives: a dominant position over Ukraine & wide-ranging #concessions from the West.
