President Donald Trump has set a new deadline of “ten or twelve” days for Russia to make a deal and end the war with Ukraine.
Trump has been pressuring Russia to cease hostilities or face economic repercussions, including tariffs on their key trading partners.
The deadline Trump set on July 14 was 50 days, but he said he has been “very disappointed” in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s lack of effort.
“I’m going to make a new deadline, of about 10, 10 or 12 days from today,” Trump said while speaking to reporters in Scotland alongside UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. “There’s no reason for waiting. It was 50 days. I wanted to be generous, but we just don’t see any progress being made.”

Trump elaborated on his disappointment with Putin, noting, “We thought we had [the war] settled numerous times… And then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city, like Kyiv, and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever. You have a lot of bodies lying around.”
Ukraine’s First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergiy Kyslytsya highlighted the new deadline in a post on X.

The war, which began with Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths, widespread destruction, and a humanitarian crisis.
Trump’s strategy has focused on leveraging U.S. economic power, including threats of sanctions and trade restrictions, rather than unlimited military aid to Ukraine.
