In a recent press conference held in Scotland, former President Donald Trump announced a tighter deadline of "ten or 12 days" for President Vladimir Putin to agree on a ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict, expressing disappointment over lack of progress in peace negotiations. This comes two weeks after he previously set a 50-day deadline for Russia to end hostilities. Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky acknowledged Trump's new timeframe as "extremely significant," highlighting its potential impact on saving lives in the war-torn region.

Trump Calls for 10-Day Ceasefire Deadline for Russia in Ukraine Conflict
Former President Trump issues a renewed ultimatum to Moscow, emphasizing the urgency for a ceasefire in the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Trump reiterated his intention to impose sanctions on Russia should they fail to comply, amidst ongoing attacks on Ukraine that have persisted since the full-scale invasion began three and a half years ago. Despite his disapproval of Putin's actions and the ongoing violence, Trump characterized his relationship with the Russian leader as generally cordial. Additionally, Trump indicated a growing impatience with negotiations, suggesting that the time for talks may be running out.
Meanwhile, Russian officials have dismissed Trump's demands as ineffective, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov previously acknowledging the seriousness of Trump's appeals but asserting that Moscow would require time to evaluate its options. As the conflict continues without substantial headway in ceasefire agreements, the prospect of reaching a resolution appears uncertain, with fundamental disagreements on preconditions for peace remaining unaddressed.
As tensions mount and the violence escalates, the international community watches closely to see whether Trump's new deadline will catalyze any meaningful changes or responses from Moscow, given that previous negotiations have yet to yield tangible results.
