Former US President Donald Trump has issued a direct warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that there will be 'very severe consequences' if Moscow does not agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine.
In a recent statement, Trump emphasised the urgency of ending the conflict, suggesting that failure to reach a truce could lead to significant repercussions for Russia. While he did not specify the exact nature of these consequences, his remarks have stirred debate among political analysts.
Trump's Stance on Ukraine
Trump, known for his unconventional approach to foreign policy, has previously positioned himself as a potential mediator in the Ukraine crisis. His latest comments signal a firmer stance against Putin, diverging from his earlier rhetoric that often appeared sympathetic to the Russian leader.
Global Reactions
The international community is closely watching the developments, with many leaders expressing cautious optimism about the possibility of a negotiated peace. However, sceptics argue that without concrete actions, such warnings may carry little weight.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials have yet to respond publicly to Trump's statement, though sources indicate that Kyiv remains committed to securing a lasting resolution to the conflict.
