US President Donald Trump has refused to join the EU's sanctions crackdown on Russian Federation after a conversation with Putin, instead expressing his intention to focus on economic cooperation with Moscow.

Trump said in a conversation with President Vladimir Zelensky and European leaders that Russia and Ukraine should find a solution regarding the war on their own, The New York Times reported.

According to six officials familiar with the discussion, Trump backtracked on earlier threats to join European sanctions against Russia.

“The Trump administration's policy from the beginning has been to target the victim - Ukraine - not the aggressor - Russia,” said former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Brigitte Brink.

The White House official explained that new sanctions against Russia could hurt business interests, while Trump seeks to maximize economic opportunities for Americans.
