US President Donald Trump has given Russian President Vladimir Putin a two-week deadline to show intent to end the war in Ukraine, warning of a “different” US response if delays continue.
Trump's remarks come after a steep increase in Russian strikes across Ukraine, which has resulted in scores of casualties. Despite a recent call between the two leaders and talk of a potential peace memorandum, no progress has been made.
The administration previously paused US military support to Ukraine in March but has not demanded major concessions from Russia. Trump’s public criticism of Putin has intensified, though it has yet to shift Russia’s stance, BBC reported.
