Trump warns Putin of 'severe consequences' if the war continues

Donald Trump has warned of ‘severe consequences’ if Vladimir Putin blocks peace in Ukraine, while also suggesting Friday’s Alaska meeting could be followed by a second summit that includes Volodymyr Zelenskyy. But there are already signs the Russian leader’s not in the mood for compromise and President Zelenskyy has warned Putin is ‘bluffing’. European leaders, who had feared the American President could sell out Ukraine, now say they’re confident he will push for a ceasefire.
