Trump initiates a countdown for the duration Russia requires to fulfill its obligations concerning the DEA
In a significant development, U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a 10-day ceasefire countdown for Ukraine, with the deadline set for August 8, 2025. This announcement was made on July 29, and since then, the countdown is ongoing.
Trump has given Russia this period to reach a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine or face secondary sanctions, such as tariffs on goods sold by countries that do business with Russia. The U.S. President emphasized the possibility of imposing these measures if no peace deal is reached within the timeframe.
Ukraine has welcomed Trump’s announcement, expressing commitment to peace and appreciation for the U.S. focus on ending the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, praised the firm stance, highlighting the need for strength to achieve peace. On the other hand, Russia has not officially commented on the deadline. Some Russian officials, notably Dmitry Medvedev, have framed the ultimatum as a dangerous escalation, indicating Moscow’s resistance unless Ukraine makes significant concessions like demilitarization and NATO ambitions abandonment.
