Donald Trump has refused to immediately impose hellish sanctions on Russia. Could his attitude affect Brussels’ plans to ramp up sanctions pressure on Moscow, and is there a possibility the US will start easing sanctions against Russia?

Few details were known about Monday's call, aside from Trump's reported attempt to initiate peace talks aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

The president promised peace on day one. Now he’s enabling Putin’s advances.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is hoping separate phone calls Monday with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will make progress toward a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine.

The U.S. president says the onus is on Russia and Ukraine, not Washington, to end the war, according to a report.
