President Trump criticized Russia for their “disgusting” attacks on the Ukrainian capital, which resulted in 28 casualties. The Trump administration has set a deadline of August 8 for a deal to be reached with Russia, threatening new tariffs and sanctions if an agreement is not reached. Despite efforts for peace talks, there has been little progress and Trump seems frustrated with the lack of results. President Putin has declared that Russian troops are advancing along all frontlines in Ukraine, showing little concern for Trump’s ultimatum. The situation remains tense as both sides continue to push for their objectives.
