@cspanofficial: President Trump on Monday said he’s “very disappointed” in Russian President Vladimir Putin over Ukraine and that he would give Moscow less than two weeks to end the conflict or face even more sanctions. “I thought he would want to end this thing quickly. I really felt it was going to end. But every time I think it’s going to end, he kills people,” the president said in Scotland alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Earlier this month, the president said he would give Moscow 50 days to make progress toward ending the war or he would impose steep secondary tariffs on buyers of Russian exports. “I’m going to make a new deadline, of about 10 or 12 days from today,” he told reporters Monday. “There’s no reason for waiting. It was 50 days. I wanted to be generous, but we just don’t see any progress being made.” President Trump came into office painting Ukraine as the obstacle to peace, but in recent months, he’s increased pressure on Moscow, growing frustrated with President Putin repeatedly rebuffing his attempts to broker a ceasefire. “I’m not so interested in talking anymore,” the president said. “He talks, we have such nice conversations, such respectful and nice conversation, and then people die the following night.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cheered the president’s announcement, saying Moscow was “doing everything to undermine peace efforts and drag out the war.” “Ukraine, as always, is ready to work with America, with President Trump, in the most productive way possible, to end this war with dignity and lasting peace,” he said in a statement. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), the ranking member of the Foreign Relations Committee, also welcomed the new deadline. “This shorter deadline is a positive step, but long overdue. The President needs to match his words with real action and not let Putin cross yet another red line,” she said. #trump #putin #ukrainewar #cspan
