A 50-day deadline was set by President Donald Trump for Russian President Vladimir Putin. The deadline demands an end to the war in Ukraine or else face 100% tariffs. It has been met with doubt and rejection from various world leaders, including a high-ranking Russian official.
Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chair of Russia’s Security Council and a former Russian President, quickly responded to the announcement made by Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. He posted on X to state the Kremlin’s position: “Trump gave a dramatic ultimatum to the Kremlin. The world held its breath, waiting for what would happen. Aggressive Europe was let down. Russia didn’t care.”
