On Monday, amid escalating tensions surrounding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, former U.S.

President Donald Trump made a high-profile statement from the White House, warning Russia of serious consequences and the potential for decisive actions.

Trump stated that if Ukraine and Russia do not reach a ceasefire agreement within the next two weeks, Washington will not remain passive.

During his speech, he emphasized that the United States is prepared to take measures that could have far-reaching implications for the Kremlin.Trump announced that his administration would monitor the situation for another ten days, and in case of unjustified escalation, he will implement ‘very decisive’ steps.

At the same time, he stressed that the U.S.

reserves the right to intervene and support efforts towards peace.

‘We either reach an agreement or we don’t,’ the former president declared.Regarding diplomatic efforts, reports indicate that Donald Trump’s current administration intends to leave the negotiation process between Ukraine and Russia under their control, refraining from direct involvement in peace talks.

This stance raises debates among experts and analysts, as it could influence the future course of events.Meanwhile, Trump also criticized his predecessor Joe Biden for allegedly not providing Ukraine with permission to attack Russia, which he claims deprives Kyiv of a chance to win the war and hampers diplomatic efforts for peace.

As Trump noted, he previously stated on August 21 that he could assess the prospects for peace in Ukraine within two weeks and find a diplomatic solution, but the situation remains tense.Thus, prospects for peace in Ukraine remain uncertain, and Trump’s words and actions continue to spark discussions on regional and global security issues.
