US President Donald Trump has warned of imposing economic sanctions on Russia if President Vladimir Putin does not agree to a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. Trump described potential measures as an "economic war" with "very serious" consequences should the fighting continue. He expressed frustration over the stalled peace talks between Putin and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, blaming both sides for the deadlock. Trump emphasized that while the situation would not escalate into a world war, the economic repercussions for Russia would be severe if a ceasefire is not reached. This stance follows Trump's recent meetings and discussions aimed at ending the three-and-a-half-year conflict. Zelenskiy has expressed skepticism about Russia's commitment to peace, calling for increased international pressure. Trump reiterated his readiness to escalate sanctions as a means to compel Russia to halt hostilities and pursue peace negotiations.
