Trump calls on Russia and Ukraine for peace - threatens with sanctions!

Moskau, Russland - President Donald Trump meant it seriously: in sharp words he threatened Russia with drastic measures due to the continuing Russian aggression against Ukraine. On his online service Truth Social, he called on both Russia and Ukraine to accept immediate peace negotiations before escalating the situation. Trump warned that he is considering comprehensive sanctions and tariffs against Moscow, since the Russian armed forces "absolutely hammer on Ukraine on the battlefield", as he put it. These threats are part of his tougher rhetoric towards Russia after he had previously put Ukraine under pressure, such as n-tv.de reported.

Trump announced that the sanctions would come into force until a ceasefire and a "final peace agreement" have been reached. This unmistakable warning is remarkable, since Trump had had little criticism of Russia in the past and instead put Ukraine under pressure, especially after an escalated conversation in the Oval Office. In it, he asked the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj that his country should repay the US military support previously received. In addition, a raw material agreement for the promotion of minerals in Ukraine should be concluded, which has not yet been realized, so oe24.at .

The current developments show a clear turn in Trump's attitude and raise the question of how Russia will react to these threats. The world is eagerly observing whether the calls to be heard and whether the announced sanctions are actually implemented.
