Ukraine: ‘Stop this war or we do it the hard way’ – Trump sends warning to Putin

United States President Donald Trump has told Russian President Vladimir Putin to ”settle now and stop the ridiculous war in Ukraine, warning it could be done in the hard way”.

Trump said he’s not looking to hurt Russia, insisting he loves the Russian people, and always had a very good relationship with Putin.

The US President in a post on his Truth Social platform, said: “I’m not looking to hurt Russia. I love the Russian people, and always had a very good relationship with President Putin – and this despite the Radical Left’s Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX.

“We must never forget that Russia helped us win the Second World War, losing almost 60,000,000 lives in the process. All of that being said, I’m going to do Russia, whose Economy is failing, and President Putin, a very big FAVOR. Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE.

“If we don’t make a “deal,” and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries.

“Let’s get this war, which never would have started if I were President, over with! We can do it the easy way, or the hard way – and the easy way is always better. It’s time to “MAKE A DEAL.” NO MORE LIVES SHOULD BE LOST!!!”
