Trump gives the deadline for Putin while the peace talks and the tensions of Ukraine are looming

While President Donald Trump previously refrained from talking about the evil of Russian President Vladimir Putin, these days are over.

The current war between Russia and Ukraine changed the nature of their dynamics. Although the two seemed to be understood, at least publicly, during the first administration of Trump, their relationship collapsed as the most recent conflict persists.

In recent weeks, Trump has refused to chew his words when he asked him about Putin. Trump said that at a meeting of the cabinet on July 8, he was fed up with Putin and said he was potentially planning new sanctions to Russia.

“We get a lot of bulls — We launched by Putin, if you want to know the truth,” said Trump. “It is very nice all the time, but it turns out that it does not make sense.”

John Hardie, deputy director of the Russian program at the For Defense of Democracies Foundation, said Russia began to attract Trump’s anger after Ukraine accepted a 30-day ceasefire. But Russia failed to climb with a ceasefire.

“Really, since then, I think Trump has come to see the Russians as the main obstacle to an agreement,” Hardie told Fox News Digital on Thursday.

In addition, Hardie said Trump had also become frustrated that Russia will launch drone and missile attacks against Ukraine, even after talking directly with Putin.

“To which he is somehow locked is these dams of Russian drones and missiles,” said Hardie. “It really seems to resonate with him.”

Tensions have continued to increase between the United States and Russia from the meeting of the July cabinet.

Trump announced on July 14 that he would disconnect “serious prices” against Russia if Moscow had not accepted a peace agreement within 50 days. He then radically reduced the deadline to only 10 to 12 days – which ends on Friday.

The decision to reduce the calendar prompted former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev to warn that “each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war”.

In addition to economic sanctions, Trump responded to Medvedev and published a rare statement revealing that two US navy submarines would be moved in response to the climbing of Russia threats.

“I ordered that two nuclear submarines are positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these stupid and inflammatory statements are more than that,” said Trump on August 1.

Trump disclosure of the underwater presence exerts additional pressure on Russia to come to the negotiating table, according to Bryan Clark, a retired submarine officer and director of the Hudson think tank reflection center for concepts and defense technology.

“We used very sparingly submarines to try to influence the behavior of the opponent before, but it is quite unusual, to do so against an opponent with nuclear propulsion like Russia in response to a nuclear threat by Russia,” Clark told Fox News Digital on Monday. “So I think it tries to mainly repel frequent and long -standing threats from Russia to use nuclear weapons in a part of the Ukrainian conflict.”

Momentum takes over negotiations, and the American special envoy Steve Witkoff met Putin on Wednesday.

Trump declared in an article on Truth Social thereafter that “great progress” had been made at the meeting. And now Trump and Putin should meet opposite

However, Hardie said it was skeptical that the meeting between Putin and Trump will lead to significant progress.

“I don’t expect a summit to produce a lot,” said Hardie. “And I think Putin could try to use the summit to appease Trump and buy more time continuously to attack against Ukraine, but I think that his goal is that he would love to be able to enroll Trump in his efforts to impose these difficult terms on Ukraine.”

Russia has put pressure for concessions in a peace agreement which includes Ukraine’s ban from joining NATO, preventing foreign peace troops from deploying to Ukraine after the conflict and adjusting some of the borders that were previously Ukraine.

It is not clear if Trump plans to announce additional economic charges on Russia on Friday in accordance with the deadline that he imposed to demand that Russia report the will to end the conflict. But according to Trump, the ball is in Putin’s short.

“It will bring him its doors,” Trump told journalists on Thursday. “We are going to see what he has to say. It will be his. Very disappointed.”

The White House has not revealed any details concerning Friday’s potential sanctions, but said Trump wanted to meet Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Putin to resolve the conflict.

“The Russians expressed their desire to meet President Trump, and the president is open to this meeting,” said the press secretary of the White House, Karoline Leavitt, in a statement to Fox News Digital. “President Trump would like to meet President Putin and President Zelensky because he wants this brutal war to end.
