President Donald Trump has warned that he will impose sanctions on Russia following his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday, according to Gazeta Sinjali.
“There is no reason for President Putin to launch missiles at civilian areas, cities, and villages in recent days,” Trump wrote on his platform Truth Social.
He continued, “This makes me think maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he is just trying to provoke me, and he must be dealt with differently, through ‘bankers’ or ‘secondary sanctions’? So many people are dying!!!”
These comments come at a time when Washington is increasing pressure on Ukraine to accept a peace deal that would end the war, but one that would involve significant territorial and financial concessions. Meanwhile, Russia continues its bombardment of Ukraine despite repeated calls for peace.
