U.S. President Donald Trump issued a strong warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, urging him to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine or face heightened sanctions and trade tariffs.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump emphasized the need to resolve the conflict, stating, "We can do it the easy way, or the hard way - and the easy way is always better."

He called for immediate action, adding, "It's time to MAKE A DEAL. NO MORE LIVES SHOULD BE LOST!!!" The statement underscores Trump's firm stance on resolving the ongoing crisis through diplomacy.



The US president said he is not looking to hurt Russia loves the Russian people and had a “very good relationship” with Putin.

“We must never forget that Russia helped us win the Second World War, losing almost 60,000,000 lives in the process,” he wrote.

Trump said he is going to do Russia a “very big favour”, adding, “Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. If we don't make a "deal" and soon.”

“I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries,” he wrote.

Earlier, Trump on Tuesday said he is ready to meet Putin anytime, but at the same time warned that he would likely impose sanctions on Russia if the latter does not come to the negotiations table on the issue of Ukraine.
