WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump on Monday expressed disappointment with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and announced a shortened timeline for achieving a ceasefire agreement.
Trump’s remarks signal renewed urgency from the White House as the war between Russia and Ukraine continues with no clear resolution in sight.
“I am very disappointed with Vladimir Putin,” Trump said in a public statement. He emphasized the need for immediate progress toward peace, noting that the previously proposed timeframe for ceasefire negotiations is no longer acceptable.
Trump did not provide a specific deadline or details on enforcement but underscored the urgency of ending hostilities.
The war in Ukraine, which began in 2022, has caused widespread destruction, civilian casualties, and mass displacement. Despite multiple rounds of talks mediated by international actors, no lasting ceasefire has been reached.
The White House did not clarify whether Trump’s revised timeline has been formally communicated to either Russia or Ukraine, or what consequences may follow if the conflict continues beyond the unspecified deadline.
