Says up to 17 Patriot batteries could be available 'very soon' - Russian markets rise, suggesting relief over delay
KYIV/WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump announced new weapons for Ukraine on Monday, and threatened sanctions on buyers of Russian exports unless Russia agrees a peace deal, a major policy shift brought on by frustration with Moscow’s ongoing attacks on its neighbor.
But Trump’s threat of sanctions came with a 50-day grace period, a move that was welcomed by investors in Russia where the rouble recovered from earlier losses and stock markets rose.
Russia may not, but many of the countries currently buying cheap oil from Russia will. If sanctions against India, China, Turkey, etc. result in them halting, or even lowering, payments to Russia then it has the desired effect.
as well as ensure that those countries do everything in their power to get out from the american thumb and end up enabling brics further.
