Trump Threatens 'Very Severe Consequences' for Russia's Refusal to End Ukraine War Effort

President Donald Trump has vowed to impose 'very severe consequences' on Russia in 2025 if it doesn't commit to a deal to end its war on Ukraine, squeezing Russia's proxies in an effort to pressure Putin into negotiations. The Ukrainian conflict is nearing its four-year anniversary, with no clear resolution in sight. Trump's stance signals a continued shift in US policy towards Russia, with the US seeking to increase pressure on Moscow to resolve the crisis.
