On Monday morning, President Trump announced he plans to shorten the timeline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine to within the next two weeks based on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s continued attacks on Ukrainian cities.
President Donald Trump on Monday said he was “very disappointed” in Russian President Vladimir Putin and said he will “reduce” the original 50-day deadline he set earlier this month to 10–12 days from today.
“I’m going to make a new deadline, of about 10, 10 or 12 days from today,” Trump told reporters from Scotland. “There’s no reason for waiting. It was 50 days. I wanted to be generous, but we just don’t see any progress being made.”
Trump initially set a 50-day deadline for Putin to reach a peace deal on July 14 while meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in Washington, D.C. However, by moving up the deadline to 12-days from Monday, he cut the overall end date in half.
“I’m not so interested in talking anymore,” Trump told reporters while sitting next to British Prime Minister Kier Starmer after he said Moscow and Washington “might make a deal” ahead of the secondary sanctions set to be implemented now in less than two weeks.
“He talks – we have such nice conversations, such respectful and nice conversation. And then, people die the following night,” Trump added on Monday.
Trump’s comments came just hours after Russia unleashed more than 300 drones and missiles across Ukraine, prompting not only Kyiv to scramble its air force, but Poland’s Operational Command said it too had deployed fighter jets to the sky.
No deaths have yet been confirmed from the early morning strikes that hit the capital city of Kyiv, wounding at least five, including a 2-year-old girl. The other strikes targeted the Khmelnytskyi region to the west of Kyiv and the Kirovohrad region to the south of Kyiv.

I would like to know what the every day Russian thinks about President Putin and his war against Ukraine, what it has cost Russian, and how it is affecting the majority of people there.
They CARE A L O T! It is THEIR sons that Putin is FORCING into the Military to be sent to Ukraine to DIE!
The PROBLEM: NO ONE has the strength or power to assassinate Putin, which is what has to happen, hopefully scaring the 2nd and 3rd in command who will take Putin’s place into bowing out” of the fray, thus, enjding the war that is TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY PUTIN’s war!
Good question. I would like information on that as well.
There are still citizens volunteering for military duty in Russia.
Americans do not understand a country’s history that spans 1000’s of years, not just a few 100.
Americans can barely get past the Civil War of the 1860s. We simply do not have the same historical heritages.
Well, since they are having NO problems recruiting I’d say they are satisfied with the fact that the US has declared war on them and their backs are against the wall.
The CIA overthrew the duly elected president of the Ukraine in 2014 with the intention of defeating Russia. It is in their communications.
The US formed NATO to defend against the Soviet Union attacking Europe. It never happened, did it? I trained in the US Army to fight them when they attacked. “we” won, the soviets went away.
So, why didn’t NATO go away? There is no longer a threat. NATO should not be in existence, total and complete waste of money…..aha, but lots of politicians got rich….
I’m a combat wounded Viet Nam veteran. June 1965 we are allegedly guarding a rice farmer and one of my men says that “I bet he’s a VC and gonna come out tonight to kill me” I responded with, “well, you could be right, but if so, someone told him that we had invaded his country, AND IT SURE LOOKS LIKE WE DID”
