After a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, US President Donald Trump began to toughen his tone towards Russian President Vladimir Putin. On his online platform Truth Social, Trump threatened Russia with sanctions.
Recent Russian missile attacks on civilian areas in Ukraine led him to believe that Putin was not interested in ending the war. Trump wrote that many people are dying and “this makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to end the war at all, but just wants to keep me around. Also, should he be dealt with differently, e.g. in the ‘banking sector’ or with ‘secondary sanctions’?”
Trump and Zelensky met in Rome during the funeral services for Pope Francis. The White House called the meeting “very productive.” Zelensky also called the meeting symbolic and spoke positively after it.
"We had a chance to discuss it head-on. We hope for a result from the things we discussed ," Trump said.
These included protecting the lives of the Ukrainian population, “a complete and unconditional ceasefire” and “a credible and lasting peace”.
The conversation reportedly lasted about 15 minutes. The Ukrainian president announced earlier in a video message that he would hold several more meetings in Rome aimed at leading to a ceasefire.
