The chance of a ceasefire and potential peace was beginning to seem plausible, with the possibility that it could happen this week, as the United States’ President, Donald Trump, and Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin, spoke on the phone about the probable ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.

Putin essentially promised to send a memorandum of peace outlining Russian requirements when a possible ceasefire occurs. And now, after a week of waiting. The memo still hasn’t arrived, and Trump is becoming increasingly frustrated with the situation. He is considering imposing new sanctions, but still hesitates to do so.

“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him,” he told the world in a social media post last Sunday. He followed on Tuesday by warning Putin that he was ”playing with fire”

After the Kremlin launched a massive bombardment campaign, Trump released a statement saying, “He’s killing a lot of people,” which he followed with, “I don’t know what’s wrong with him. What the hell happened to him?”

U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal proposed imposing sanctions on Russia. So far, more than 80 senators have signed the bipartisan bill. Goods imported from countries that buy Russian minerals, gas and oil would have 5a 500% tariff put on them.

Trump has not yet signed the legislation but heavily considers imposing the sanctions. Trump declared that he would ”absolutely” consider sanctions on Russia.

And as Russia faces these new problems, France’s President, Emmanuel Macron, spoke about the situation, initially saying, “President Trump realizes that when President Putin said on the phone he was ready for peace, or told his envoys he was ready for peace, he lied.” He continued by saying, “We have seen once again in recent hours Donald Trump express his anger. A form of impatience. I simply hope now that this translates into action.”
