Trump's threat to Russia

US President Donald Trump announced that the States may begin an 'economic war' with Russia if the country does not come to the negotiating table with Ukraine. This was reported by the media portal FREEДОМ.

Call for negotiations

Trump emphasized the importance of a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian leader Vladimir Putin to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

'I would like the war [in Ukraine] to end. I want to achieve its cessation. Otherwise, it will not be a world war, but an economic one. And it will be very hard — especially for Russia. I wouldn't want that,' Trump said.

Criticism from Germany

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also noted that Putin is dragging out the negotiations and called for dialogue between him and Zelensky to begin as soon as possible.

These statements reflect the growing international pressure on Russia ahead of potential peace talks. These calls are expected to attract the attention of the global community as the conflict in Ukraine remains in the focus of global news. It is important that all participants work diligently towards achieving peace and stability in the region.
