‘Russia’s actions in Ukraine disgusting’— Trump

U.S. President, Donald Trump has condemned Russias continued military aggression in Ukraine, calling the Kremlins actions disgusting during remarks to reporters on Thursday, July 31. Russia I think its disgusting what theyre doing. I think its disgusting, Trump stated, following reports that a missile strike on Kyiv had killed at least 16 people. In response to the escalating violence, Trump announced that he would dispatch his special envoy Steve Witkoff, currently in Israel, to Russia for urgent discussions. Witkoff has previously met with Russian President Vladimir Putin multiple times in Moscow as part of earlier diplomatic efforts. The U.S. has now given Russia until the end of next week to cease hostilities in Ukraine or face severe economic sanctions. Trump reaffirmed the ultimatum Thursday night, saying:Were going to put sanctions. I dont know that sanctions bother him, he said, referring to Putin. The President also hinted at broader measures, suggesting that new sanctions could include secondary tariffs aimed at nations still trading with Russia such as China and India a move that could cripple Russias economy but risk triggering wider international tensions. Trump entered his second term with optimistic projections that the war now stretching back to Russias February 2022 invasion would be resolved quickly. However, his tone has shifted in recent weeks as Moscows unrelenting offensive continues to claim civilian lives and destabilize the region.  The post Russias actions in Ukraine disgusting Trump appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
