Donald Trump has said there could be \u2018very bad\u2019 punishment for Vladimir Putin if he doesn\u2019t accept the ceasefire with Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0lifted its suspension of military aid for Kyiv yesterday (11 March) as\u00a0Russia<\/a>\u00a0is considering the new proposal.<\/p>\n

But it seems Trump could be threatening Putin with great consequences if he doesn\u2019t agree to it.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian<\/a>\u00a0officials have signalled they are open to a 30-day ceasefire backed by Washington as the US president says he wants to end the war.<\/p>\n

While discussing the administration’s efforts to bring an end to the three years of fighting, he again said it could lead to World War III.<\/p>\n

Trump<\/a>\u00a0said he hoped \u2018it is not going to be necessary\u2019 that he has to take measures to pressure Russia into the ceasefire, while criticising previous presidents for their record of dealing with Moscow.<\/p>\n

“They never took anything from me. They took them from Obama and Bush, and they took from sleepy Joe Biden. With Biden, they wanted to take the whole country, but I think I\u2019ve stopped that, but we\u2019ll see,” the president said of his own previous dealings.<\/p>\n

However, as reporters asked how he could secure a deal with Russia, Trump said that if needed \u2018there are things you can do that wouldn\u2019t be pleasant in a financial sense\u2019.<\/p>\n

“We could do things very bad for Russia. Would be devastating for Russia. But I don\u2019t want to do that because I want to see peace,” he added.<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said it is important not to \u2018get ahead\u2019 of the question of responding to the new ceasefire proposal. He told reporters that Moscow is awaiting \u2018detailed information\u2019 from the US and suggested that Russia must receive that first before it can take a position.<\/p>\n

Now lifted, the US’ suspension of military aid came after a heated exchange between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy at the White House. The American warned Zelenskyy he was \u2018gambling with World War III<\/a>\u2019 as the world watched on as tensions grew.<\/p>\n

This decision to then resume US assistance after talks on Tuesday with senior Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia marked a sharp shift in its stance.<\/p>\n

And Trump said \u2018it\u2019s up to Russia now\u2019 as his administration presses Moscow to agree to the ceasefire.<\/p>\n

“And hopefully we can get a ceasefire from Russia,” he said today in the extended exchange with reporters during an Oval Office meeting with Miche\u00e1l Martin, the Taoiseach of Ireland.<\/p>\n

“And if we do, I think that would be 80 percent of the way to getting this horrible bloodbath ended.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
