Donald Trump pledged to end the conflict in Ukraine, but the war has proved tough to solve. Now, he says he'll sanction Russia.

Russia has not capitulated to Donald Trump's push to end the war with Ukraine, saying, to make a deal, it depends on what it is.

Russia is "very closely monitoring all the rhetoric" from Washington, a Kremlin spokesperson said, after President Donald Trump threatened to impose new sanctions unless Russia ends its war against Ukraine. "We don't see any new elements here," Dimitry Peskov, the spokesperson, said on Thursday.
