Bookmakers do not believe that US President Donald Trump soon realizes his threats and initiates additional sanctions against Russia. It is likely that new restrictions will be estimated only in June 1 by 16%.
This is evidenced by data on the Polymarket platform Cryptobetting. For comparison, 58% of the forecast was believed in early May 20125, but later the bookmakers began to fall and did not return to the previous level even after Trump itself.
The opinion of the bookmakers did not change the information that Trump allegedly could impose new sanctions against Russia this week. Sources of the publication said that the head of the White House was disappointed with the blows of the Russian Federation in Ukraine and the fact that the peace process is going too slowly. At the same time, as the interlocutors of journalists say, sanctions have not yet been made.
Meanwhile, market participants still do not believe that there will be no sanctions at all. For example, the probability of imposing restrictions in July 2025 is estimated at more serious 47%.
According to the media, if the US president decides that restrictions on the Russian Federation are needed, they will include banking sanctions in the first place. In addition, the White House probably discusses other pressure options on the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to force him to give way to the negotiating table, including a 30-day ceasefire.
According to OBOZ.UA, on the third day of the mass shelling of peaceful Ukrainian cities, Trump said that he was dissatisfied with Putin because he fired the cities and kills people for no reason. The President of the state confirmed that he is considering the possibility of imposing new sanctions against Russia.
