ALBAWABA- U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned that Ukraine could face a “global war” if no agreement is reached with Russia, urging both sides to commit to a ceasefire.
“Thousands of young people are dying in Ukraine’s war,” Trump said at a press conference in Washington during a cabinet meeting. “I want a deal to end the war in Ukraine, and I think I will succeed. We will consider sanctions against Russia if a ceasefire is not reached—but we are not going to start World War III. I’m not in a hurry to impose sanctions, but peace has to come.”
Trump noted that over a thousand soldiers were killed last week in the conflict, calling the bloodshed “tragic and unnecessary.” He added that economic measures remain on the table should Moscow reject compromise.
