Trump’s deadline for the Kremlin looms but Putin shows no sign of making concessions
UNITED STATES, AUG 4 – Trump warns Russia to halt its Ukraine offensive by Friday or face intensified secondary sanctions targeting countries trading Russian oil, pressuring Moscow’s war funding, officials said.
- This coming week could be pivotal as U.S. President Donald Trump set a Friday deadline for the Kremlin to halt hostilities or face severe economic penalties, with envoy Steve Witkoff arriving in Moscow midweek.
- With previous threats failing, Trump grew exasperated a week ago and advanced his plan to impose sanctions and tariffs on Russia, China, and India.
- The European Union capped Russian crude at $47.60, blacklisted over 100 shadow tankers, and banned refined fuel imports, while pressure on Russia’s energy sector funds 40% of its budget.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that officials are glad to meet with Witkoff and called the talks 'important, substantive and very useful.'
- Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeated he will accept a settlement only on his terms and will keep fighting until he seizes full control of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.
