"We are coping, and I have no doubt that we will cope," said Russia's foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov.

US President Donald Trump is trying again to end the war in Ukraine – not by targeting Russia, but by hitting the countries that buy Russia’s oil.

In todays DNA, Zee News Managing Editor Rahul Sinha analyzed the ongoing situation between the US and Russia over the conflict with Ukraine. Will the tension between Trump and Putin impact their relationship?

United States President Donald Trump has threatened to impose steep trading restrictions on Russia unless a peace deal with Ukraine is reached within 50 days, as he announced an agreement with NATO allies to send more weapons to Kyiv.

Addressing a press conference, Rutte emphasised the urgency of the situation, noting Trump's announcement on increasing military support for Ukraine, including air defence systems, missiles, and ammunition.

President Trump discussed how he came to give up on negotiating with Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House on Monday, as the U.S. agrees to sell new and more weapons to Europe and Ukraine.

Either way, it would be a step further than Joe Biden ever went. The former president, a much stronger backer of Kyiv, was unwilling to crack down against Russian energy exports, fearful of the impact on pump prices and his chance of re-election.

Trump ripped into the Russian leader, accusing him of being “all talk” after months of U.S. efforts to broker a deal to end the war he started by ordering an invasion of Ukraine, and said he’d prefer not to use the powerful secondary sanctions he’s threatened but stressed that the war “has got to stop.”

Senior US Senators have called for imposing tariffs up to 500 per cent on countries like India, China, and Brazil for continuing business with Russia during its war in Ukraine.

New threats for Russia, and a renewed lifeline for Ukraine. President Donald Trump’s new approach to the war between those countries could have a major impact on the battlefield.
