Trump threatens large-scale sanctions against Russia amid Ukraine conflict

News summary

In response to a significant Russian attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, President Donald Trump announced he is considering imposing large-scale banking sanctions and tariffs against Russia until a ceasefire and peace agreement is reached. In a post on Truth Social, he emphasized the urgency for both Russia and Ukraine to negotiate immediately, stating that Russia is 'absolutely pounding' Ukraine on the battlefield. Trump's shift in focus towards Russia comes after recent criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reflecting an intensified frustration with both sides' approaches to ending the conflict. This follows reports of a massive Russian offensive involving numerous missile strikes on Ukraine, which resulted in injuries and damage to critical infrastructure. While Trump has called for negotiations, his comments have drawn criticism for seemingly siding with Russia in the war narrative. Ukrainian officials have indicated their willingness to engage in peace talks with U.S. representatives in Saudi Arabia, aiming for a resolution to the ongoing conflict.
