US special envoy Steve Witkoff is set to travel to Russia on Wednesday or Thursday, US President Donald Trump told journalists overnight (CET). Trump also threatened renewed sanctions if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not agree to a ceasefire in the war with Ukraine by Friday.
“There will be sanctions, but they seem to be pretty good at getting around sanctions,” the US president said. “They are smart guys and pretty good at getting around sanctions, so we’ll see what happens.”
Just a few days ago, Donald Trump sent two US Navy nuclear submarines to Russian coastal waters in a show of force. Putin countered by announcing the deployment of state-of-the-art Russian hypersonic missiles in Belarus, directly on the border with NATO countries.
