What is President Trump's strategy towards Russia regarding the Ukraine war?

According to Kurt Volker, former US Ambassador to NATO, President Trump is employing a dual approach of 'sticks and carrots' with Russia. The strategy includes warnings of further sanctions and continued pressure if Putin doesn't stop the war in Ukraine, while offering incentives if Russia does end the conflict. Volker believes Trump will continue this combined approach for some time to see if it can make any progress in resolving the situation. This balanced strategy aims to create both deterrence through potential consequences and motivation through possible benefits to influence Russia's actions in Ukraine.
