Trump wants deal to end Russia's war in Ukraine by Aug 8, US tells UN
- On July 31, a senior U.S. diplomat informed the United Nations Security Council that President Trump aims to reach an agreement to conclude Russia's conflict in Ukraine by August 8.
- This demand comes after three rounds of Istanbul negotiations this year, which involved prisoner exchanges but did not succeed in resolving the ongoing conflict that has lasted over three years.
- Senior U.S. representative John Kelley informed the United Nations Security Council that if Russia fails to move toward an immediate, full, and unconditional ceasefire, the United States is ready to pursue further actions to ensure peace.
- Trump warned on July 29 that within 10 days, tariffs up to 100% and secondary sanctions targeting countries importing Russian exports would begin unless Moscow halts its full-scale invasion.
- This development increases pressure on Russia as it remains committed to continuing talks in Istanbul, while Ukraine urges solidarity and determination to secure a durable and fair resolution based on the principles of the UN Charter.
