President Donald Trump has threatened new sanctions on Russia after it continued to bombard Ukraine, just days after he previously suspended US aid to Kyiv. The threat comes after Russia launched major drone and missile attacks overnight on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED,” Trump wrote. The threat was in line with Trump’s consistent emphasis on ending the war in Ukraine as soon as possible — but a shift from his frequent castigation of Ukraine for not stopping the war Russia started.
