If you are writing a Russian language course for 2025, the lesson will definitely contain the phrase rollercoasster: Americanskiye Gorki.

This means, literally, the American hills.

How suitable.

After all, with President Donald Trump now operating the trip, Vladimir Putin’s pressure on some buttons, relations between the United States and Russian have become one of the late stage, with its highest levels, transition, transformations and turns.

You never know your place now.

Jeetary trend analysis is difficult enough at best. It is difficult to be difficult for the American hills of the forty -seventh US President.

When Trump returned to the White House in January, the trend of travel was clear: he started to reform relations with Russia.

There were Trump/Putin phone calls, and high -level US negotiations. At one time, Washington voted with Moscow against the United Nations resolution, which Russia has determined as a “aggressor” in Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Whenever the Trump administration puts pressure, it is always on Kyiv, never on the Kremlin.

But a week ago or so, the Rollercoasster trip began.

He made Trump know that he was angry at the comments of the Russian President

after Vladimir Putin suggested replacing the administration of President Folomer Zelinski With “external governance” in Ukraine under the auspices of the United Nations, President Trump made it “angry” with Putin.

Trump commented on March 30: “I was disappointed in a certain way, some of the things that were said during the last day or two related to Zelinski,” Trump commented on March 30. “Because when [Putin] Zelinski is considered unreliable, so he is supposed to deal with him. Whether you love or not love him. “

A day after the golf played with Trump, the President of Finland, Alexander Stop, told the Guardian: “I think America, however, is also the President of the United States, running out of patience with Russia,” Alexander Stop told the Guardian.

Trump threatened to impose a secondary tariff of up to 50 % on Russian oil exports if it turns out that Russia had its heels in the peace agreement.

A group of American Senate members of the United States has gone further.

They have put a draft law that imposes 500 % secondary tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil, gas and other resources.

Even this point was the Russian press welcomed the soluble relations between Moscow and Washington. Nezavisimaya Gazeta last month, a hammer stating that we and Russian officials “started speaking the same language.”

Things changed this week.

On Wednesday, the Moskovsky Komsomoles newspaper accused the Trump administration of “administrative madness … lack of experience … lack of maturity.”

She criticized the “booser and arrogance” of the administration and its “desire to declare” huge breakthroughs “when the first steps are barely taken.

On the same day, Komsomolskaya Pravda announced: “In Ukraine talks, Donald’s mood changes whenever the wind is.”

Signs, perhaps, from the cold winds that blow between Moscow and Washington?

However, when Trump announced the comprehensive definitions this week, Russia was not on the list.

Instead, the American authorities have organized a waiver of the penalties for the main Kremlin official: Putin’s foreign investment envoy.

Dmitriev flew to Washington for talks with the Trump administration.

A sign, perhaps, from Russia and America continue to work …

But on Friday, another warning from Washington to Moscow. This time in a meeting of NATO ministers abroad in Brussels.

“President Trump will not fall into the trap of endless negotiations on negotiations,” said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

“We will know soon enough, within weeks, not months, whether Russia is serious in peace or not.”

He continued: “If they do not do that, we will have to reassess the place where we stand and what we do forward.”

This is after Russia was criticized by NATO allies in America. UK Foreign Minister David Lami said that Putin “continues to be tired and continues to withdraw his feet.”

“The ceasefire can now accept, and continues to bomb Ukraine … Naqk, Vladimir Putin, we know what you are doing.”

Earlier on Friday, there were rumors that Trump and Putin were about to talk again on the phone. This was followed by more rumors: The White House has changed its opinion.

The Kremlin said there are no conversation plans.

But there are reports that American companies are planning to participate in this year’s St. Petersburg’s Economic Forum.

Well. Stop the trip. I need to go down.

My conclusions of all this.

Try to follow all the development and operation of Rollercoasster in the United States-it can leave you reckless and confused.

Sometimes it is better to monitor from a distance. It often helps to determine the largest image.

That is: for several months, Donald Trump has avoided criticizing Putin and Russia’s wide invasion of Ukraine.

The main White House officials, such as Steve Wittakov, adopted and conversated points as Carmlin over and over again. True, Washington says it is growing with Russia and threatened more striking sanctions on Moscow. But he did not impose anything. not yet.

Will he do that?

Is the Trump administration ready to pressure Moscow to end the war? Will the Kremlin allow you to click on it?

It is a major question as Russia’s war on Ukraine continues.
