Trump says Ukraine ceasefire 'up to Russia now' after Kyiv accepts proposal
US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the fate of a ceasefire deal that would bring the war in Ukraine to a halt for 30 days is now in Russia's hands after Kyiv backed the proposal.
"It's up to Russia now, but we've had a good relationship with both parties, actually, and we'll see. People are going to Russia right now as we speak. And hopefully, we can get a ceasefire from Russia. And if we do, I think that would be 80% of the way to getting this horrible blood bath to end," he said as he hosted Irish Premier Micheal Martin at the White House.
Trump threatened to impose "devastating" economic penalties on Russia if President Vladimir Putin rejects the deal.
