Waiel Awwad, a prominent foreign affairs expert, has challenged the recent NATO warnings of sanctions against India, China, and Brazil. He believes these warnings are part of the US’s broader strategy to pressure Russia. Awwad contends that the US has failed to isolate Russia and is now employing such tactics. He suggests that the US knows that the war will continue and will provide advanced weaponry to Ukraine. NATO chief Mark Rutte, alongside US Senators, has urged India, China, and Brazil to rethink their economic connections with Moscow, warning of secondary sanctions if Russia doesn’t commit to peace talks about Ukraine. Trump has also expressed his intention to impose severe tariffs on countries that continue trading with Russia. Moreover, US Senators Graham and Blumenthal are actively pushing for the swift passage of legislation, which could inflict substantial penalties on nations aiding Russia economically.
