Trump is growing ‘impatient with Russia’

Donald Trump is reportedly beginning to lose patience with Vladimir Putin, according to Finnish President Alexander Stubb, who spoke following a conversation with the American president.

Stubb said that Trump and Putin, scheduled to speak by phone on Monday, cannot determine the future of Ukraine without consulting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

He also noted that U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal may introduce a new package of financial sanctions against Russia in Congress, depending on the outcome of the call.

Speaking at a security event in Estonia, Stubb said: “If we were to pull it together, we could say that Zelenskyy is patient and President Trump is starting to be impatient—but in the right direction, that is, towards Russia.”

The Finnish leader warned that threatening sanctions without following through could undermine the credibility of Western nations.

The proposed sanctions package reportedly includes a 500% tariff on goods from any country conducting energy trade with Russia.
