U.S. President Donald Trump said on May 28 that he is giving Russian President Vladimir Putin two weeks to demonstrate a genuine commitment to ending the war in Ukraine, warning that failure to do so could result in tougher action, including sanctions.

“I’m very disappointed,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on May 28, referring to Russia’s latest drone and missile strikes on Ukrainian cities, which he condemned for killing civilians during ongoing talks to put an end to the long-running war.
