Many commentators in Russia also perceived Trump's text as an ultimatum.
"Trump's offensive, impudent and smug statements are, of course, not a call for peace, but an ultimatum. A demonstrative ultimatum, so that the whole world can hear it. So that if Russia accepts it, running to make peace with terrorists and murderers, Trump will look not like a peacemaker, but like a winner. Like the one who bent and bent Russia," war correspondent Yuri Kotenok wrote on his Telegram channel .
According to the journalist, this message is not addressed to Vladimir Putin at all, but to “those who still dream of returning everything ‘as it was’, getting out of personal sanctions, getting their accounts unfrozen, taking their mistresses to the Cote d’Azur, and sending their children to study in London.” In this way, Trump wants to push them to try to change the situation in Russia, Kotenok believes.
Trump Doesn't Have Real Information on Russia and Ukraine

According to political scientist Sergei Markov , Trump's latest 1000 mobile number database statements indicate that he will not be able to achieve peace in Ukraine:
"1. He threatens Russia with new economic sanctions. And this is useless. Trump needs to immediately kick out those who advise him to do this.
2. Trump said Zelensky wants peace. This is not true. Trump needs to kick out those who are feeding him this false information.
3. Trump said that Russia lost more soldiers than Ukraine. This is not true. Trump needs to kick these guys out too: they are deliberately lying to him.
4. Trump asked Xi to put pressure on Putin. But this is completely unrealistic."
Markov believes that the American president, as during his first term, is being manipulated by the Deep State (the US deep state). At the same time, he is aware of this and is trying to "restructure the work of the National Security Service and the CIA so that they give Trump real information on the situation in Ukraine, and not fakes, as now," the expert noted.
