In his new statement, former President Donald Trump failed to mention that he urged the Ukrainian leader not to talk to separatists and 'instead began sending weapons to Ukraine,' as if the country 'could recover its lost territories by force.'
what he called the"first tranche" of sanctions against Russia, which target a pair of banks, the country's sovereign debt, and some Russian elites., as Anatol Lieven at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft put it, that"war between nuclear-armed powers is not an option," Trump said:
"President Trump made a terrible mistake in 2019 when he encouraged newly elected President Zelenskyy of Ukraine to refuse to talk to DPR and LPR leaders within the framework of the Minsk Protocol, as it requires," the group said, referring to an agreement drawn up in 2014. As for oil prices, though they are affected by the crisis in Ukraine, given that Russia is responsible for about 10% of the world's supply, the comments from Trump—who hasmade misleading statements about U.S. fossil fuel energy since leaving office—lacked key context.
But any interruption of Russian shipments that transit through Ukraine, or the sabotage of other pipelines in northern Europe, would cripple much of the continent and distort the global energy supply chain. That's because, traders say, the rest of the world does not have the spare capacity to replace Russian oil.
