US President Donald Trump demonstrated his determination to pressure Russian dictator Vladimir Putin during a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week.

This is what journalist David Ignatius, who covers international politics, writes about in a column for  The Washington Post  , citing his own informed sources in American politics.

According to him, Trump asked Zelensky why he didn’t strike Moscow. The Ukrainian leader replied decisively:

“We can if you give us weapons.”

Trump said that Ukraine needs to increase pressure on Putin, not only on Moscow, but also on St. Petersburg.

The article says that Trump is being tough on Putin. He is angry. The Russian leader has stopped being “nice,” as Trump likes to say.
