Trump tells Putin to end Ukraine war now — or else: ‘We can do it the easy way, or the hard way’

KOSTYANTYNIVKA, UKRAINE - JANUARY 22: Women clear debris from their apartment block after it was heavily damaged in a Russian attack earlier in the day, on January 22, 2025 in Kostyantynivka, Ukraine. Ukraine faces a pivotal moment in its war with Russia as its biggest military ally, the United States, inaugurates a new president and with it a new foreign policy. During his campaign for the US presidency, Donald Trump had promised to end the war on Day One of his term, although he has since walked back his ambitious timeline.

Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday to double down on his criticisms of Putin and Russia’s hurting economy, warning Moscow that things would only get worse if the war doesn’t end soon.

“Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE,” Trump urged.

“If we don’t make a ‘deal,’ and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries,” he wrote.

“Let’s get this war, which never would have started if I were President, over with! We can do it the easy way, or the hard way — and the easy way is always better,” he added. “It’s time to ‘MAKE A DEAL.’ NO MORE LIVES SHOULD BE LOST!!!”
