President Donald Trump has already warned his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin against \u201cplaying with fire\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump is prepared to apply \u201cmaximum pressure\u201d<\/em> on Russia if Ukraine peace talks fail to produce results, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce has told Fox News.<\/p>\n

The US president\u2019s patience has \u201cworn thin\u201d<\/em> and that he has expressed his frustration in his recent posts on Truth Social, Bruce told the network in a clip posted by Fox and Friends on Monday.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the Trump stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin had gone \u201ccrazy\u201d<\/em> following a series of retaliatory strikes carried out by Moscow in Ukraine, adding that the Russian president is \u201cplaying with fire.\u201d<\/em> Moscow, in turn, suggested that Trump might be not well-informed about mass Ukrainian attacks against Russian civilians.<\/p>\n

Over the past week, the Russian Defense Ministry has reported intercepting more than 2,300 Ukrainian drones targeting Russian cities, including several hundred that were headed towards the Russian capital.<\/p>\n

Bruce stated that Trump could resort to using all the tools at his disposal, including additional sanctions on Moscow. The restrictions are part of a draft bill being pushed by Republican Senator, and prominent Russia hawk, Lindsey Graham. It includes sanctions of up to 500% on all countries that continue to purchase Russian oil, gas and other goods.<\/p>\n

\u201dAmerica is ready to do a maximum pressure framework on Russia,\u201d Bruce said, warning that Moscow will \u201csoon understand\u201d<\/em> Trump\u2019s commitment to achieving a settlement of the Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

Following Trump\u2019s outburst on social media, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov suggested that Western media outlets were pressuring the US president and were \u201ceffectively engaged in a campaign aimed at derailing the peace process and provoking the United States into imposing new sanctions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Peskov, however, applauded Trump for maintaining \u201ca balanced approach\u201d<\/em> towards Ukraine peace negotiations, noting that the talks must address the root causes of the conflict and will likely \u201crequire some time\u201d<\/em> to resolve.<\/p>\n

Top Putin aide Yury Ushakov has suggested that Trump is \u201cnot sufficiently informed\u201d<\/em> about ongoing Ukrainian attacks on Russian cities. \u201cTrump knows only about the retaliatory measures we are taking,\u201d<\/em> he said, adding that Russia strikes only target military infrastructure or defense industry facilities.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has similarly noted that Trump is only getting \u201cfiltered\u201d<\/em> information on the conflict which is \u201cprepared by those who want to draw America into more aggressive action against Russia, in support of the Kiev regime.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
