US President Donald Trump is disappointed with Vladimir Putin Putin - now there may be a spontaneous change of course, writes Focus.de.
According to information from RTL, the US president is now seriously considering imposing new sanctions against Russia in order to put more pressure.
It is now clear to Trump that Putin does not want to stop his war against Ukraine. The US president said last week after a phone call with Putin that he was “very unhappy“ with the Russian president. He had hoped to make progress towards ending the conflict in Ukraine.
Trump said he had a “strategic conversation“ with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday. The two agreed to bolster Ukraine's air defenses after Kiev suffered its worst wave of drone and missile attacks since the Russian invasion.
When asked about the prospects for a ceasefire, Trump said "the situation is very complicated." "I was very unhappy with my conversation with President Putin. He wants to go all the way, just keep killing people - that's not good," Trump said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday that a phone call he had earlier this week with his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump was "the best and most productive." "As for the conversation with the president of the United States that took place the other day, it was probably the best conversation we've had in a long time - the most productive," Zelensky said.
