A drop in oil prices could force Russia to stop its military actions in Ukraine.
This was stated by U.S. President Donald Trump on Fox News.
Trump emphasized that the United States is increasing oil production and doing everything possible to bring its price down. According to him, this creates economic pressure that could accelerate the end of hostilities in Ukraine.
The American leader also called on other countries to lower oil prices.
“This will automatically stop Russia’s war against Ukraine. Lower the prices a bit more, and it will stop the war. I am disappointed in Putin, but they are losing—5,000 people die every week. Between 5,000 and 7,000 people are dying every week for no reason,” Trump said.
Earlier, Trump stated that Putin had indeed let him down regarding ending the war in Ukraine. It was also noted that Trump recently, for the first time, called Russia the aggressor.
