This opinion was expressed by Dmytro Dovhopolyi, candidate of historical sciences, Americanist, UN employee (1987-2019) on the air of Espreso."It seems to me that the Kremlin is very tense. This is a very serious signal. They thought that they would be able to get through this between the raindrops — it didn't work out. Trump took a position. The fact that he shortened the deadline seriously indicates that he is standing up, at least he is standing up, he hasn't yet, maybe not 100% yet, but he is taking the side of Ukraine. And the Americans are working for this.Multiply this statement, the ultimatum with the fact that for the last three months they have been talking about expelling Ukrainians from America, there are 200,000 of us here in America. But yesterday there was a statement from the White House that no, Ukrainians can stay, that Ukrainians can stay in America until the end of the war, even if this end does not happen. Against the background of what is happening with emigration in America, this is a signal," he said.Dmytro Dovhopolyi noted that perhaps in big politics this signal means nothing, but if we take the totality of factors, it is a signal that the vector has changed: "That the vector was initially towards Russia, then the vector was: 'This is not our war,' and now the vector is: 'I am irritated.' And this makes the Kremlin worry.""What Peskov says is that 'We retain freedom of choice' is not Peskov saying it, they fought over this wording, I can assure you, they fought for several days. And the main one who fought was a certain Dmitry Ushakov, the former Russian ambassador to the United States, now Putin's chief foreign policy aide, because what were they trying to say with this? That 'We retain freedom of choice and we can return both this and that, and that you will not intimidate us'." They gently rejected the American ultimatum, but at the same time they left themselves the freedom to do something, well, for example, to invite a phone conversation with Trump and invite a new conversation and a face-to-face meeting. That could be. To buy time. That's what they can do. But I have no doubt that they took the fact that Trump took the side of Ukraine very seriously, at least as of today," the American noted.On July 14, Donald Trump announced that he would impose secondary tariffs on Russia, which could reach 100%, if a peace agreement with Ukraine is not reached within 50 days.On July 29, US President Donald Trump announced that he was disappointed with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and intended to shorten the 50 days he had given him to reconcile with Ukraine.On July 30, US President Donald Trump announced that Ukrainian citizens who fled the war in their homeland and sought asylum in the United States would be allowed to remain in the country until the war ends.
