Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has also announced plans to penalize Russian citizens who currently reside in Ukraine. Poroshenko is hoping that said penalties will incentivize the Russian government to return Ukrainian vessels and soldiers.
Alleged Russian Interference in U.S. Elections
Since the 2016 presidential elections, Americans on both sides of the aisle have debated about Russia’s alleged interference in U.S. elections. As a matter of fact, Robert Mueller’s probe into Russia’s alleged meddling in the most recent presidential election remains ongoing. Many Americans have furthermore cited concerns about President Trump’s relationship with the Russian president. Moreover, people in this country maintain that Russia is no friend to the United States.
Russia has strongly denied claims of interfering the 2016 presidential election. Their government also stated that President Trump’s true reason for canceling his meeting with Putin regards Trump’s own administration and not Russia’s hold on Ukrainian vessels.
