Trump warns US troops could join Ukraine conflict amid ceasefire breakdown

Former President Donald Trump has issued a grave warning about the potential for American troops to be drawn into the Ukraine conflict, following a nearly two-hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump emphasized the need for a ceasefire to prevent escalation into World War III, stating, 'Right now, you have a lot of guns pointing at each other.' Despite an agreement for a temporary halt in attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, Russian forces quickly resumed strikes, causing significant damage and casualties. In response, Ukraine reportedly targeted the Kavkazskaya oil facility in Russia. The situation remains tense, as both sides accuse each other of violating the ceasefire, with Trump cautioning that 'strange things happen' in wartime. A prisoner exchange involving 175 individuals from both countries is set to occur, described by the Kremlin as a 'gesture of goodwill.'
