Intressant. Medan Senaten godkände de nya gamla sanktioner, säger Tillerson så här

Tillerson Allows for Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Outside of Minsk Accords
Så Tillerson lättar på retoriken en aning.
Men Senaten vill göra Obama's EO om sanktionerna till lagen för att förhindra Trump att lyfta upp dem utan kongressens godkännande. Senaten säger också att de är redo att köra över Trump om han lägger in sitt "veto". De har även inbakat Ryssland-sanktionerna i Iran-sanktionerna för att försvåra för Trump.

Senate backs legislation to slap new sanctions on Russia
Vore jag Trump skulle jag skriva under och föra en aggressiv retorik emot Ryssland tills alla utredningarna är över. Men Trump har överraskat ju många gånger förut.

Tillerson Allows for Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal Outside of Minsk Accords
Citat:
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the U.S. would support efforts by Russia and Ukraine to resolve a yearslong conflict outside of an internationally backed agreement signed by both countries, the implementation of which has long been a U.S. condition for lifting sanctions against Moscow.
Mr. Tillerson made his comments on Wednesday in testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee. They appeared to mark a departure from longstanding U.S. policy and a potential break from other world powers, including Germany and France, which brokered and have supported the cease-fire and peace accords reached in Minsk, Belarus, in 2014 and 2015.
“I think it’s important we be given sufficient flexibility to achieve the Minsk objectives,” Mr. Tillerson said, adding, “It’s possible that the government of Ukraine and the government of Russia could come to a satisfactory resolution through some structure other than Minsk, but would achieve the objectives of Minsk, which we’re committed to.”
The Minsk agreements call for local elections in Ukraine’s breakaway Donbas region, the withdrawal of foreign-armed troops, and returning the border with Russia to Ukrainian control, among other points.
Pursuing an agreement outside the Minsk accords could allow the two sides to go back to the drawing board and negotiate a pact acceptable to both, possibly without meeting benchmarks set in Minsk. It isn’t clear if such efforts are already under way.

Senate backs legislation to slap new sanctions on Russia

Rand Paul ❤ ❤ ❤
To take effect, the measure would also have to pass the House of Representatives and be signed into law by Trump. If Trump objected, some of its backers said they expected enough congressional support to override a veto.
"Today the Senate has finally confronted Russia for interfering in our elections. This bipartisan amendment is the sanctions regime that the Kremlin deserves for its actions," said Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a leader of the push for the legislation.
The only two "no" votes on the Russia bill were from Republican Senators Mike Lee and Rand Paul.

“Putin is a killer.”
“There are a lot of killers. We have a lot of killers,” Trump said. “Well, you think our country is so innocent?”
