U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces should not strike Moscow, rejecting reports that he approved long-range missile deliveries.
“No, he shouldn’t target Moscow,” Trump told reporters at the White House. He also made clear that his administration will not approve the delivery of long-range missiles to Ukraine.
Trump repeated his warning that Russia faces sweeping tariffs and secondary sanctions if a ceasefire deal is not reached within 50 days.
“At the end of 50 days, if we don’t have a deal, that’s gonna be too bad. The tariffs are going to go on. And other sanctions go on,” he said.
He also took aim at Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling the ongoing conflict “a Biden war” and saying, “I’ve solved a lot of wars in the last three months, but I haven’t gotten this one yet.”
In response, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov dismissed Trump’s timeline, calling it “unacceptable” and warning against ultimatums.
Ryabkov insisted that Moscow remains open to diplomacy but made clear that its military campaign will continue if talks stall.
“This position is unshakable,” he said. “We would like Washington and NATO in general to treat it with the utmost seriousness.”
