Donald Trump, in his effort to end the Russian war in Ukraine no matter the cost to kyiv, is once again taking a tougher tone.

After the summits that the president of the United States, leader of the White House, had with Vladimir Putin in Alaska and later with Volodymyr Zelensky and the European allies in Washington, the next step to negotiate is a meeting between the president of the Kremlin and that of the invaded country. However, in recent days, what seemed like a close scene has been fading. Trump warned on August 25 that if Zelensky and Putin do not meet, there will be repercussions.
