Trump Threatens 'Devastating' Sanctions if Russia Rejects 30-Day Ukraine Ceasefire

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Russian President Vladimir Putin of 'devastating' economic sanctions if Russia rejects a 30-day ceasefire agreement with Ukraine. The proposal, developed during talks in Saudi Arabia, has been accepted by Ukraine, with the U.S. urging Russia to agree. Trump mentioned that the U.S. has measures that could be financially unpleasant for Russia and emphasized that the decision now lies with Moscow. American envoy Steve Witkoff is traveling to Russia to advance the negotiations. The ceasefire proposal has been supported by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. Trump also warned that the ongoing conflict could escalate into a global crisis, including the possibility of World War III.
