[J.JTimes] Trump Weighs Russia Sanctions… Russia Launches Record Attacks! Turning Point in Ukraine?

‪@J.JTimes‬
“The Russia-Ukraine war has reached a critical turning point! Trump’s new sanctions? Abandoning peace talks? And Russia’s largest drone attacks ever… Where is this conflict headed?”

U.S. President Donald Trump is considering the possibility of imposing additional sanctions on Russia.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Trump is aiming to apply final pressure on President Putin,
but if that fails, he is also considering abandoning the ceasefire negotiations altogether.

Recently, Trump expressed his frustration by calling Putin
“completely insane,” using unusually strong language.
However, inside the U.S., some analysts point out that Trump dislikes Ukrainian President Zelensky,
and he hesitates over concerns that further sanctions might block the recovery of U.S.-Russia economic ties.

Meanwhile, Russia has significantly intensified its military offensive against Ukraine.
Over the past three days, Russia has launched over 900 Shahed attack drones and hundreds of missiles,
resulting in at least 18 deaths and dozens of injuries.
This marks the largest drone assault since the start of the full-scale war.

Ukrainian authorities have warned that
“Russia will not stop the war as long as it has the capacity to produce weapons.”
In response, key Western supporters — notably the UK, France, Germany, and the U.S. —
have officially lifted range restrictions on the weapons provided to Ukraine.
This means Ukrainian forces can now strike deeper and farther into Russian territory using Western arms.

Experts caution that if Trump withdraws from mediation efforts,
the war could escalate even further.
With the combination of expanded Western military aid and Russia’s massive offensives,
the prospects for a ceasefire and peace talks are slipping further away.

Trump’s decisions, Russia’s provocations, and the West’s bold moves.
Everything is pushing this war toward a tense tipping point.
We’ll keep watching closely to see where it all leads.
