Russia threatens Trump with ‘devastating’ strikes after US president cut Putin’s ceasefire deadline

Putin’s chief propagandist Vladimir Solovyov has hit back at Donald Trump, threatening the use of ‘devastating’ strikes. Trump imposed a shorter deadline on Moscow to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine or face biting sanctions. Earlier the US leader had set a 50-day deadline. Trump’s remarks came as he met with British PM Keir Starmer in Scotland. He said he was disappointed in Putin’s continued aggression against Kyiv. On TV, the dictator’s mouthpiece Solovyov hit back at Trump and other western forces. Implying the use of a nuclear attack, he said: “The strike will be in accordance with our military doctrine. And the strike will be devastating.” Watch The Sun's latest coverage of the war in Ukraine, with real-time updates on deadly drone strikes, the latest weapons, military action, and those resisting Russia’s invasion.
