No Deal as U.S. Deadline for Russia to End Ukraine War Arrives

KYIV CITY MUNICIPALITY, KYIV CITY REGION, AUG 8 – Trump’s ultimatum for Putin to make peace progress expired with no breakthrough, despite plans for talks involving Putin, Trump, and Zelensky and threats of tougher sanctions.

  • On Aug. 8, 2025, President Donald Trump’s deadline expired without new penalties after giving Putin until Friday to make progress or face sanctions.
  • Last Monday, Trump shortened his 50-day ultimatum to 10 to 12 days, repeatedly shifting deadlines since mid-July to pressure Vladimir Putin.
  • According to Kremlin sources, Putin is unlikely to bow to Trump’s threats, believing Russia holds the upper hand, as the Institute for the Study of War says Putin remains uninterested in ending his war.
  • While a Moscow meeting is set, Trump conditioned any US-Russia talks on Zelensky's inclusion after a three-hour envoy meeting with Putin.
  • Looking ahead, fears in Europe remain over Ukraine’s sidelining as Viktor Orbán urged Europe to take diplomatic initiative and focus may shift to secondary sanctions.
