President Trump warns Russia of sanctions and tariffs to push for Ukraine peace

President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Russia, vowing to impose significant tariffs and additional sanctions if President Vladimir Putin does not take immediate steps to end the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump asserted that a resolution to the conflict would not only benefit Ukraine but would also serve Russia’s interests, calling the potential outcome a “very big favor” to Moscow.

The Kremlin has responded cautiously to Trump’s statements, with spokesman Dmitry Peskov reiterating Russia’s openness to “mutually respectful dialogue.”

However, he dismissed the warnings as consistent with the rhetoric Trump employed during his first term. Russian President Putin continues to demand recognition of Moscow’s territorial gains in Ukraine, a condition Kyiv refuses to accept.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, reiterated the critical role of the United States in any peacekeeping effort.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Zelensky suggested that a peacekeeping force, including U.S. troops, would be essential to deterring Russian aggression and securing long-term stability.

“It can’t be without the United States,” Zelensky stated, underlining his belief in America’s leadership on the global stage.

As negotiations remain at a standstill, Trump’s proposed measures could intensify pressure on Moscow.

However, analysts caution that any significant shift will depend on the willingness of all parties to engage in constructive talks, with the U.S. playing a pivotal role in shaping the outcome.
