Trump's team sees sanctions against russia as leverage for peace

According to the publication, the Trump team is considering two main approaches. One includes recommendations if the new administration believes that the end of the war is near. It provides for some measures in favor of sanctioned russian oil producers that could help conclude a peace agreement.

At the same time, the second option, according to the newspaper's sources, will be based on the introduction of new sanctions, increasing pressure on russia to increase its leverage.

It is noted that the plans are in the early stages and will depend on the newly elected president.

According to the publication's interlocutors, some candidates for positions in Trump's cabinet, former sanctions officials in his first administration, and representatives of conservative think tanks are taking part in these discussions.
