Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire: Trump openly warns Putin, 'Refusing ceasefire will be disastrous for Russia'

Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire: US President Donald Trump has given a stern warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin that if Russia does not accept the ceasefire with Ukraine, it will have to face serious consequences. Trump made it clear that tough economic sanctions will be imposed on Russia, which will cause huge losses to its economy.

Initiative for peace talks

Trump's statement comes at a time when Kiev has agreed to a 30-day ceasefire during talks held in Saudi Arabia. Now all eyes are on Russia's response. Trump said that US negotiators are going to Russia to discuss the issue and expressed hope that an agreement could be reached soon.

Trump angry at Kremlin's silence

According to the Daily Mail report, Trump is angry with the Kremlin's ambiguous stance. He said that if Russia does not take a concrete decision soon, the US will be forced to retaliate. During a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Michael Martin at the White House, Trump stressed that he wants peace, but if Russia backs down, it will have to face serious consequences.

Zelensky has also been warned

This is not the first time Trump has taken a tough stand. Two weeks ago, he also warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House that if a ceasefire is not implemented, Ukraine will also face difficulties.
