Trump Threatens Russia Sanctions, 'Talks With Putin Very Soon', Zelensky Wants 200,000 Peacekeepers
On 21 Jan. 2025, US President Donald Trump suggested the possibility of new sanctions on Russia if President Vladimir Putin refuses to negotiate a peace agreement to end the war in Ukraine. Trump, who had pledged to resolve the conflict swiftly after his inauguration on 20 Jan., criticised Putin for not making a deal and indicated readiness to meet with him at any time. Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for a "just and lasting peace" and highlighted plans to discuss the matter with Trump. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected Russian demands to drastically reduce Ukraine's military, insisting on strong security guarantees and proposing the deployment of 200,000 European peacekeepers to enforce any agreement. Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council Dmitry Medvedev emphasised multipolarity following a discussion between Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, asserting the alignment of Moscow and Beijing on major global issues. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
