During a press spray with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, US President Donald Trump was asked about his previous remarks on Russia and the timeline for brokering a peace deal on Ukraine, as reported by The Guardian on July 28.

Trump said he would now shorten the deadline to “10 or 12” days, signaling increased pressure on Moscow.

“I’m going to make a new deadline, of about 10, 10 or 12 days from day. There’s no reason for waiting. It was 50 days, I wanted to be generous, but we just don’t see any progress being made,” he said.

Previously, Trump has decided to shorten the 50-day ultimatum he previously gave Russian leader Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine, citing a loss of confidence in Moscow’s willingness to de-escalate, Trump said during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, according to the Clash Report on July 28.

Earlier this month, Trump warned Moscow that it had 50 days to end the war in Ukraine or face sweeping US secondary sanctions. Despite the ultimatum, Russia has escalated its offensives in Donetsk, Kharkiv, and toward the Dnipropetrovsk region.

“We thought many times that we had a settlement, and then President Putin comes out and starts launching missiles at a city like Kyiv and kills a lot of people,” Trump added.
