President Donald Trump has warned that the United States might impose new sanctions on Russia if President Vladimir Putin refuses to negotiate an end to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump expressed concerns that Putin is “destroying Russia” by not agreeing to a peace deal.

The US has already placed heavy sanctions on Russia, but Trump did not specify any new sanctions. He mentioned that talks are ongoing with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and there are plans to speak with President Putin soon to explore possible solutions.

In a related development, Zelenskyy stated at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that at least 200,000 European peacekeepers would be necessary to prevent future Russian attacks after any potential ceasefire agreement.
