It remains to be seen just how lasting and severe President Donald Trump’s turn against Vladimir Putin will be. Trump has criticized the Russian president in unprecedented terms in recent days and signaled he’ll send vital weapons to Ukraine.

Melania Trump has highlighted Russia's continued attacks on Ukraine in private conversations, President Trump said on Monday.

Vladimir Putin’s conduct has prompted Donald Trump’s shift as Russia’s war effort in Ukraine has gotten only more aggressive.

Concerns are escalating that Vladimir Putin might resort to using nuclear weapons in Ukraine, especially after the 50-day deadline imposed by his American counterpart, Donald Trump. Trump has warned of imposing 'very severe' tariffs on Russia,

Donald Trump can end Russia's war in Ukraine, something that his predecessor Joe Biden was unable to do, Volodymyr Zelensky has said.The Ukrainian president said he did not want to criticise anyone, “but President Biden was not able to end this war”.

Putin mistook Trump’s restraint for weakness. Now, with its allies emboldened and patience exhausted, the United States will kibosh Russia's aggression.

Donald Trump has again warned Russia that it will face "secondary tariffs" and other sanctions if it does not agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine, but claimed he is "not on anybody's side" in the conflict

Russia, however, has not taken kindly to Trump's threats. "President Trump's statements are perceived not as a signal for peace, but as a signal for the continuation of the war,"

The president left the door open for talks with his Russian counterpart but complained about Russia’s continued aerial attacks on Ukraine.
