In a post to Truth Social, President Trump threatened to hit Russia with tariffs if Vladimir Putin refuses to make a deal on the Ukraine war.

To bring Russia to the negotiating table and end the war in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin needs to believe time is no longer on his side. Here's what the Trump administration needs to do to make that

Putin has said repeatedly that he is prepared to negotiate an end to the war, but that Ukraine would have to accept the reality of Russian territorial gains, which are currently about 20% of its land. He also refuses to allow Ukraine to join Nato.

On the morning of January 17, a Russian missile attack on the region's second-biggest city, home to more than 500,000 residents, killed four people and wounded 14 others.

New US president Donald Trump has threatened to impose heavy financial penalties on goods from Russia unless it agrees quickly to make a deal to end its war with Ukraine, as Kyiv said at least 200,000 European peacekeepers would be needed to safeguard any such agreement.

President Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin is “destroying Russia” with its nearly three-year war in Ukraine, adding he hopes the Kremlin leader is open to making a deal to end the conflict.

As he signed executive orders in the Oval Office after the inauguration on Monday, Trump took aim at the Russian leader over his handling of the invasion into Ukraine. Trump has rarely criticized Putin and has often touted his relationship with the foreign leader.
