Earlier, on Monday evening, the Vice -President of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev expressed the view that “every new ultimatum (Trump) is a threat and a step towards the war.” “Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with its own country,” he said.
Donald Trump ultimatum
Trump announced on Monday in Turnberry, in Western Scotland, that he would set a new ultimatum – 10 or 12 days from July 28 – which would bet on Russian leader Vladimir Putin to take action to end the war in Ukraine.
The previous, 50-day Ultimatum Trump announced on July 14 during a meeting in Washington with the Secretary General of NATO Marek Rutte. He threatened then that if Putin did not end the war in Ukraine at that time, Russia would be covered by “very harsh duties”.
