In response to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, former US President Donald Trump has indicated he’s prepared to escalate sanctions against Russia. During a press conference, Trump stated his readiness to proceed with a second phase of sanctions. This follows a significant Russian air assault on Kyiv, which resulted in the destruction of key government buildings. Trump did not reveal any specifics about the forthcoming sanctions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has appealed for international backing to stop the attacks. He emphasized the need for global action and bolstering air defenses to protect civilians from the ongoing strikes.
