US EditionTrump’s Ultimatum To Russia Signals New Approach To War In Ukraine
SCOTLAND, JUL 29 – Trump combines defense aid and potential sanctions in a 10-day ultimatum to pressure Russia amid increased missile strikes on Ukraine, with U.S. officials mediating peace talks since February.
- President Donald Trump issued an accelerated ultimatum in late July 2025, demanding Russia show progress toward peace in Ukraine within 10 to 12 days from Scotland.
- This ultimatum followed prolonged peace talks mediated by U.S. officials in Saudi Arabia since February, which produced little progress amid intensified Russian attacks.
- As part of a new approach, the Trump administration announced increased defense aid, including advanced air defense systems and NATO arms transfers to Ukraine.
- Trump threatened 100 percent secondary tariffs on countries continuing Russian oil imports, notably warning China, while oil prices rallied over 3 percent amid geopolitical tensions.
- The coming days will determine if Russia alters its conduct, with potential sanctions reshaping oil markets and stakeholders closely monitoring Ukraine conflict developments.

"We're going to impose tariffs and other things," said the US President, not without noting: "I don't know if this will affect Russia, because obviously [Vladimir Putin] wants the war to continue."
