Ukraine war latest: Trump says he’s ‘not happy’ with Putin and he’s considering further sanctions against Russia | World News

We’ve just spoken to a Ukrainian MP who lives in Kyiv and took shelter during Russia’s attack overnight.

As we reported earlier, Donald Trump’s envoy for Ukraine condemned that onslaught as “shameful” and called for a “ceasefire now” (see 17.32).

Responding to those comments, Kira Rudik has told us she wants the US to “switch from the statements to actions”.

“Ukraine has done everything by the book, whatever President Trump wanted from us or demands from us, we have completed,” she told our presenter Barbara Serra.

“We have signed the very rare minerals deal, we had agreed to a ceasefire – when there was an offer to go to Turkey to a negotiation, President Zelenskyy has done it.”

Kyiv has done “everything” to get a ceasefire that is “obviously” not happening, she said.

“So we hope that President Trump, who has promised peace through strength, will stop appeasing Russia and hoping and playing with the illusion that Russia is ready to negotiate,” she added.

“Start providing more military support to Ukraine and at the same time [pressure] Russia with more sanctions in terms of the economy.

“And Europe needs to stand with the United States on that.”
