United States ruler, Donald Trump, is claiming that he’s “neutral” on Ukraine, after issuing an ultimatum tied to sanctions and tariffs to Russia, and agreeing to continue arms shipments to Ukraine. The bold-faced lies are becoming too obvious to ignore.

On Monday, just two days ago, Trump said he was “very, very unhappy” with Russia, and warned of “severe” secondary tariffs of up to 100% if no progress is made in diplomacy with regard to the war, within 50 days. He fully placed the blame on Moscow, expecting them to bow to his whim at the ultimatum. He also announced upcoming deliveries of advanced weapons systems to Ukraine, which are to be funded by European NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) members, after the Pentagon claimed it couldn’t supply more weapons due to low U.S. stockpiles.

These actions prove his stance is anything other than neutral, making him a liar. However, he continues to deny that he’s siding with Ukraine. When pressed by reporters on Tuesday, Trump insisted he is “on nobody’s side” and still hopes to resolve the conflict through diplomacy, according to a report by RT. If the war can be solved with diplomacy, then why even threaten Moscow with an economic war and agree to send weapons to its enemy?

“You know the side I’m on? Humanity’s side. I want to stop the killing of thousands of people a week. I want to stop the killing. I want the killing to stop in the Ukraine-Russia war. That’s the side I’m on,” the U.S. president said. “I’ve solved a lot of wars in the last three months, but I haven’t gotten this one yet. This is a Biden war. It’s not a Trump war. I’m here to try and get us out of that mess,” he added.

That’s interesting, considering he’s continuing to do exactly what his predecessor, Joe Biden, had done, which is prolong the war.

Trump Gives Moscow 50 Days To End The Conflict With Ukraine, Or The U.S. Will Impose Sanctions

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on Tuesday that European Union and NATO leaders have put Trump under “improper pressure” to adopt a hardline stance on the conflict. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov stressed that “any attempts to make demands, let alone issue ultimatums, are unacceptable.”
