Ukraine says Trump's sanctions threat sends 'strong signal' to Russia

2^min

Ukraine praised U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday for threatening to impose tariffs and sanctions on Russia if it refuses to make a deal to end the war in Ukraine and said the comment sent a "strong signal."

Trump, who has repeatedly said he wants to halt the fighting in Ukraine without saying how, appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday to "stop this ridiculous war" and threatened to impose punitive measures if no deal is reached.

"We do really welcome such strong messages from President Trump and we believe that he will be the winner. And we believe that we have an additional chance to get new dynamic in diplomatic efforts to end this war," Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said, speaking in English at a discussion panel in Davos, Switzerland.

Kyiv has long urged its allies to impose tougher sanctions on Russia to raise the costs of the war for Moscow and to discourage it from undertaking any further aggression.
