Putin refuses peace: Trump unhappy with Russian shelling in Ukraine, while Johnson supported sanctions

US President Donald Trump confirmed that Ukraine has approached him with a request for the Patriot air defense system. He noted that the White House will consider this request despite the high costs. Trump expressed outrage over Russia's massive nighttime attack on Ukraine, emphasizing the need to end the conflict that has caused many casualties.At the same time, a bill is being considered in the US Congress to increase pressure on Russia. House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed the view that Vladimir Putin does not show a desire to discuss issues peacefully, so a clear signal needs to be sent to Russia. The bill covers various sanctions, including tariffs on imports of Russian oil, gas, and other resources, as well as 'secondary sanctions' for countries trading with Russia. The initiative has support in the Senate and may be considered soon.
