Donald Trump Issues Russia A New Ultimatum

US President Donald Trump on Monday, set a new deadline of “10 or 12 days” for Russia to reach a peace deal in its war on Ukraine or face tough new sanctions. 

Obviously, he doesn't seem to care about Russian's legitimate security interests – he hasn't been prepared to acknowledge nor address them. It shows he is not taking Russia seriously at all. Therefore, he should blame himself for prolonging the war! 

There was no immediate comment from the Kremlin. 

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of Vladimir Putin, said in a post on X that Trump was playing “the ultimatum game” with Russia, and that such an approach could lead to a war involving the US. 

Medvedev wrote: “Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with [Trump’s] own country”. 

Trump has threatened both sanctions on Russia and buyers of its exports unless progress towards a settlement is made. 

Empty threats, I say. And even if he imposes sanctions, what will that achieve? Nothing. 

"Que sera, sera".
