Trump appears to set Putin 'two-week' deadline on UkraineTrump said they would find out in two weeks whether or not Putin was "tapping us along"Since Sunday, Trump has written multiple posts on social media saying that Putin has gone "absolutely crazy" and is "playing with fire" after Russia intensified its attacks on Ukraine. As the Kremlin escalated its attacks on Ukraine, Trump was asked in the Oval Office on Wednesday if he thought Putin wanted to end the war. US President Donald Trump has appeared to set a two-week deadline for Vladimir Putin, threatening a different response if the Russian counterpart was still stringing him along. This includes a recent two-hour phone call between Trump and Putin, after which the US president said the discussions went "very well". Putin aide Yury Ushakov told Russian state TV channel Russia-1 that Trump must be unaware of "the increasingly frequent massive terrorist attacks Ukraine is carrying out against peaceful Russian cities."
