President Trump issued a strong warning to Russia, threatening further sanctions if they refuse an extended ceasefire in Ukraine.
This decision follows a recent phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky, aligning the U.S. more closely with Ukraine's position.
The proposed 30-day truce aims to facilitate peace negotiations, a move initially suggested by the Trump administration during talks in Saudi Arabia.
Ultimately, Trump's statement explicitly links additional U.S. sanctions to Russia's acceptance of a temporary ceasefire for negotiations.
