President Trump has threatened Russia with more punishments if they don't agree to a longer ceasefire in the war with Ukraine.
This follows a phone conversation with Ukrainian President Zelensky, indicating a shift in U.S. policy towards supporting Ukraine's demands.
A 30-day truce has been proposed to allow for meaningful peace talks, a suggestion initially put forward during international discussions.
Trump's statement clearly links the imposition of additional sanctions to Russia's cooperation and acceptance of the proposed truce.
