Russia Rejects US Peace Talks Ultimatum Amid Ukraine Conflict

News summary

President Donald Trump has issued a stern ultimatum to Russian President Vladimir Putin, demanding progress on a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine within 10 to 12 days or face severe tariffs. Senator Lindsey Graham echoed Trump's call, urging Russia to come to the peace table and warning that Joe Biden is no longer president. In response, Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council and a close Putin ally, dismissed the demands, asserting that negotiations will only end once Russia's military objectives are achieved and telling Graham to 'work on America first, gramps.' Medvedev criticized Trump's ultimatums as threats that risk escalating conflict, and rejected any external dictation on Russia's timing for peace talks. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions as Russia continues its military campaign in Ukraine, with the U.S. pushing for a diplomatic resolution while Russia remains defiant. Both sides remain entrenched, with Trump showing frustration over Putin's lack of progress on a ceasefire and Medvedev openly mocking U.S. pressure.
