US President Donald Trump on Friday warned Russia with new sanctions, calling its actions in Ukraine “disgusting”. Without naming his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, he wondered whether the sanctions had any effect on him.“Russia — I think it’s disgusting what they’re doing. I think it’s disgusting,” AFP quoted Trump saying.“We’re going to put sanctions. I don’t know that sanctions bother him,” he said.This comes after Trump lashed out at India for its relationship with Russia. “I don’t care what India does with Russia,” Trump said. “They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the World. Likewise, Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let’s keep it that way.”Trump shortened the 50-day deadline he gave Putin to end the war in Ukraine, citing frustration over failed ceasefire efforts. Speaking in Scotland, Trump said he would now give only 10–12 days, accusing Putin of continued aggression. Ukraine has welcomed Trump’s tougher stance, while his threat of severe secondary tariffs on Russia and its trading partners—like India and China—raises the stakes globally. Trump said the change in timeline came after repeated ceasefire breakdowns and continued civilian casualties.
