**US President Trump’s Call with Putin Sparks Concerns**
In a recent interview, Estonian ambassador to Ukraine Annely Kolk expressed her concerns about the lack of trust in Russia honoring ceasefire agreements. This comes after US President Donald Trump’s call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Kolk, who has been following the situation closely, believes that Russia’s track record shows they have no intention of keeping their word. “We’ve seen this before,” she said. “Russia makes promises, but they don’t follow through.” Kolk emphasized that the international community should not take anything at face value from Russia.
**A History of Broken Promises**
The Estonian ambassador pointed out that in 2015, Russia agreed to a ceasefire with Ukraine, but it was repeatedly broken. Similarly, in 2020, Russia made promises to respect a ceasefire agreement, only to violate it time and again. Kolk warned that any agreement between Trump and Putin should be met with skepticism.
**A Call for Caution**
Kolk’s comments highlight the need for caution when dealing with Russia. She urged the international community not to get carried away by any promises made by President Putin, but rather to focus on ensuring that Russia actually follows through on its commitments.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is essential to remember the past experiences of broken promises and agreements. By being cautious and vigilant, we can ensure that the rights and safety of people in Ukraine are protected.
