At present, neither the state Department nor the Ministry of defence there is no one assigned to the Deputy Minister. People who have to formulate policy towards our countries, in the new administration just yet.

Trump already knew that the “Grand bargain” with Russia will not, because there is nothing to negotiate, says an economist.
“I think that Putin is a little bit overreacted when I started all those games with medium-range missiles, which are in his possession. Trump for all his threats answered simply – it is proposed to increase the military budget of 54 billion dollars, how much is the entire defense budget of Russia. When us-Russian relations are moving on the level of this confrontation, of course, Ukraine disappears from the agenda, forget about the “Minsk agreement”, not on this question”, – he added.
Earlier edition of Le Monde wrote that the Ukraine is stopping the “big deal” of US presidents and Russia’s Donald trump, and Vladimir Putin.
In turn, the former U.S. Ambassador to Russia, expert of the NGO “Atlantic Council” Alexander Vershbow said that Washington will make a deal with Moscow at the expense of the interests of Ukraine.
