U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Russian President Vladimir Putin of “very severe consequences” if he refuses to end the war in Ukraine. The warning comes ahead of their scheduled meeting in Anchorage, Alaska. Trump described his recent virtual talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders as “very good” and “sincere.” He indicated that the first meeting could lead to a trilateral discussion, but a second meeting will depend on outcomes and whether he receives necessary commitments from both leaders.
