This can be an effective complement to sanctions.
It seems that US President Donald Trump's patience with the Kremlin has run out. He no longer only openly states that he is dissatisfied with the position of the Kremlin and personally Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. The head of the White House began to speak to Moscow in the language of ultimatums. Thus, he gave Putin 50 days to conclude a peace agreement with Ukraine, after which, if there is no agreement, the U.S. will impose 100% tariffs against Russia and its trading partners. It also became known that the US president asked Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky why he has not yet hit Moscow.
The 100% trade tariffs will not be a lethal measure for the Kremlin, but can indeed create a lot of problems for the aggressor. Nevertheless, it is likely that Putin will not accept the U.S. ultimatum and will continue his war because he is convinced that "the West is cowardly." A Tomahawk strike on his residence in Novo-Ogaryovo would help change the aggressor's rhetoric and actions.
This opinion was expressed by Russian opposition activist Olga Kurnosova in an exclusive interview with OBOZ.UA.
- Trump gave Putin fifty days to agree to a peace agreement. Failure to do so will result in the imposition of a 100% tariff against Russia and its trading partners. In your opinion, how lethal is such a measure to the Russian economy in general? And why did Trump indicate such a long period of time, why exactly 50 days?
- You should ask Trump himself. But, in my opinion, it could have been done a long time ago.
-I can't say that this is fatal for the Russian economy, but it is really quite painful. The main purpose of such a measure, of course, is to make Putin have less money for war. And I think these sanctions may contribute to that situation.
- But how will they work in practice? What will it look like?"
- Well, they haven't even been imposed yet. Ideally, they should be sanctions against those countries that buy something from Russia. Nevertheless, as we can see, the shadow fleet of the Russian Federation is still working more or less normally.
- So I can't say that I have confidence that these sanctions will work one hundred percent. But it is certainly better than nothing. In my opinion, it would be much more useful to give the Tomahawks to Ukraine.
- Just about the Tomahawks. The Washington Post, citing its sources, reported that Trump allegedly asked Zelensky why Kiev has yet to strike Moscow. Zelensky replied, "We can if you give us weapons." Do you think this is actually a hint that the United States would not mind an American missile, for example, coming at Moscow?"
- In my opinion, yes. And, in fact, Trump has been talking about it all along, even during his first presidential term. But so far it's just words. Let's wait for him to actually hand over the missiles.
- As we remember, just recently his speech that he made during his first cadence in which he threatened Putin to bomb Moscow if he attacked Ukraine was published. And he said Putin believed it 10 percent of the time. I think this conversation is on the same theme. It's something that should show Putin the seriousness of Trump's intentions.
- What do you think could happen in 50 days? Will there be a peace agreement? Will Putin respond to this ultimatum from Trump?"
- In my opinion, no. As long as Putin is in power, I don't believe in peace. But anything is possible.
- Do you think Putin has a plan B for this eventuality? If so, what is it?"
- I don't think he has a plan B. Simply because he is still convinced that the West is cowardly and he is now in a position to scare it. And everything he is doing, absolutely everything is aimed at exactly that.
- If he had a plan B, he wouldn't have attacked Ukraine.
- How do you think a strike on Moscow with an American missile would change Putin's position? Or even in this case we can't expect big changes?
- To do this, we should not hit Moscow, but Putin's residence in Novo-Ogaryovo. Or on Rublyovka, where Putin's inner circle lives. That could really make a difference.
