“10 days long”, is Putin challenging the Trump ultimatum all known

United States President Donald Trump set a 10 or 12-day deadline for Russia to agree to a deal with Ukraine.

This Trump decision came on July 28th during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, halving his previous 50-day term for the Russian state, Klankosova.tv broadcasts.

During this meeting between the two heads of two states, Trump had said that if Russia fails to reach an agreement, it could impose sanctions and secondary tariffs, according to the BBC.

The president has changed his views on the war in Ukraine during his second administration, recently expressing it is “disappointed” with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

He said Tuesday that he has not yet heard from Russia for the new deadline, writes Politico.eu, broadcasts Klankosova.tv.

But, Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, gave a brief answer on July 29th, saying the Kremlin “is aware of” of the Trump's statement, without providing further details. He added that he would not comment on any other Trump statements, under which “is no longer interested” for talks with Putin.

According to political analyst Boris Pastukhov, this was a brief response from the Kremlin. “Putin is waiting”, he told Radio Europe Free Europe Time Television. For him to know what to say, he needs to understand exactly how Trump plans to behave”.

At that, on Wednesday, the Kremlin said it continues to monitor US president's statements concerning sanctions against Moscow, but that Russia had gained immunity to such measures thanks to long experience.

Although Trump has not said what he will do when his deadline for a ceasefire expires, it represents a turning point in his stay in February, when he considered Ukraine the main obstacle to peace, writes Aljazeera.

Vice President Zelensky is not ready for peace if America is involved”, he wrote in his account Social Truth, “because he thinks our involvement gives him a major advantage in negotiations”

And on the other hand, the Ukrainian president welcomed Trump's shortest term on Russia, calling it “an extremely important statement”.

Ukraine's European allies have signed a framework agreement reached this month between the US and Germany, under which allies granting Patriot systems to Ukraine are given priority in buying new systems.

Lithuania said it was ready to help supply Ukraine with $35m Patriot systems, after Germany, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Germany's Defence Minister, Boris Pistorius, said three Patriot batteries had been sent to Ukraine.

The US also approved foreign military sales of Bradley war vehicles and Hawk air defence systems for Ukraine on Thursday.

By contrast, Trump has complained about the lack of a war agreement with Ukraine's full-scale invasion of Russia that began in 2022 while Joe Biden was president. Before his inauguration, Trump insisted he would end the war in Ukraine on the first day of his second mandate, blaming Beden for allowing the start of the war. /Periscopi/
