US President Donald Trump announced a reduction of the 50-day deadline he initially set for Russian President Vladimir Putin to reach a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine. Trump stated that the new deadline would be approximately 10 to 12 days from the announcement date. He emphasized that if Russia does not make progress toward ending the war within this shortened timeframe, the US would impose consequences, including tariffs and secondary sanctions on Russian oil and buyers of its exports. This move reflects mounting frustration with Putin over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and represents an escalation in pressure on Moscow to halt hostilities.
The deployment comes ahead of a deadline next week imposed by Trump for Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine or face tighter US sanctions. https://t.co/tIrVkRWMM4
