US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that if Russia’s President Vladimir Putin did not agree to stop the war in Alaska on Friday, he would have to suffer its “very serious consequences”.
French President Emmanuel Macron said that Trump has “very clear” in an online meeting held on Wednesday with leaders from European countries that the US wants a ceasefire agreement at the upcoming US-Russia Summit in Alaska.
Ukraine President Volodimir Jailonsky said that he has told the group that Putin is “mislead” before the meeting with Trump. Jailonsky said that Putin is “trying to pressurize all areas of the Ukrainian front” to show that Russia is capable of occupying the entire Ukraine “.
He said, “Putin is also misleading about sanctions, it seems as if they have no meaning for them (sanctions) nor are they going to have any effect on them (on Russia). While the reality is that the restrictions are very helpful and they are making a huge impact on Russia’s economy, which can weaken the war.
