U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed plans to impose fresh sanctions on Russia if a ceasefire in Ukraine is not reached by August 8.
He described Moscow’s actions in the conflict as “disgusting” and said economic pressure would follow if no deal is made.
Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump admitted he wasn’t sure sanctions would be enough to change Russia’s course.
Still, he’s dispatched special envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow to push for direct negotiations.
The ultimatum raises pressure on the Kremlin as the military conflict nears its third year.
