Difficult Task: Trump 'Loses Patience' Over Putin.

Trump is losing patience with Putin - Stubb

U.S. President Donald Trump is losing patience with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, said Finnish President Alexander Stubb after a meeting with his American counterpart.

Stubb noted that Trump plans to speak with Putin over the phone on Monday, but should not decide Ukraine's fate without the voice of President Zelensky.

According to Stubb, 'Trump and Putin should not decide Ukraine's fate behind its President Zelensky's back.'

The Finnish President believes that a group of American senators could present a sanctions package against Russia that would make the country's financial activities impossible, depending on the results of the phone call.

Stubb also supports the sanctions package and actively communicates with Senator Lindsey Graham, who describes the sanctions as 'devastating.'

The Finnish President emphasizes the importance of uniting Europe and joint actions in communication with Putin through the leaders of the 'big three' countries - the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.

Stubb uses his influence with Trump to convince him to reconsider views on the economic and military power of Russia. He emphasizes that Russia is losing its place as a major power in terms of economy and supports the importance of free trade and defense of Europe.

Trump’s actions and views are considered surprising in the context of modern relations between states, where cooperation and conflict avoidance are emphasized.
