US President Donald Trump has said he is ready to move to the second phase of sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine.

He said this during a press conference at the White House.

When journalists asked whether the American president was ready to punish the Russian dictator and move to the second stage of sanctions, he replied: “I’m ready.”

It is worth noting that his statement came against the backdrop of massive shelling of Ukrainian regions by the Russian Federation. In particular, the Russians launched a record number of attack drones – 810, and used ballistic and cruise missiles.

Recall that the United States once again threatened Russia with sanctions if the Kremlin does not move towards a peaceful settlement.

By the way, Trump said that the Russian dictator’s reluctance to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would have “serious consequences” for Russia.
