US President Donald Trump has issued a 10-day ultimatum to Russia demanding a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine. He warned that failure to comply could result in secondary sanctions against Russia. This move is intended to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to halt the ongoing conflict. Despite this warning, Russia has continued its military actions, resulting in the deaths of at least 22 people in various Ukrainian cities.
One of the deadliest recent incidents was a Russian airstrike on a prison in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, which killed at least 17 inmates and injured more than 80 others. The Kremlin has not publicly responded to Trump’s deadline, leading to speculation that Russia may be calling Trump’s bluff.
The conflict shows no signs of de-escalation, with ongoing deadly attacks and rising political tensions. The international community remains anxious as efforts toward peace face significant obstacles amid the continuing violence.
