‘It’s In My Brain’: Trump Pressed By Reporters On Deadline For More Russian Sanctions As Ukraine Fighting Heats Up

President Donald Trump revealed he has a date in his “brain” for when he will step in and sanction Russia in an effort to bring its war with Ukraine to an end.

At a White House meeting on Thursday alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump suggested there is more fighting to come between Russia and Ukraine as peace talks have stalled amid attacks launched by both countries in recent weeks.

“It’s in my brain, the deadline,” the president said, revealing he urged Russian President Vladimir Putin not to retaliate after Ukraine smuggled drones onto multiple Russian airfields. On top of the massive drone attack, Ukrainian forces also targeted a bridge connecting Crimea to Russia.

Trump compared the situation to breaking up a fight between “two young children.”

“Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy. They hate each other, and they’re fighting in a park. And you try and pull them apart. They don’t want to be pulled. Sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart, and I gave that analogy to Putin yesterday,” the president said. “I said, President, maybe you’re going to have to keep fighting and suffering a lot because both sides are suffering. Before you pull them apart, before they’re able to be pulled apart. But it’s a pretty known analogy.”

He added that there is “great hatred” between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and he does not see “immediate peace” in the future.

“I’d love to have immediate, if I could,” he said. “But we don’t have immediate, you know? I’d love to have that. I’d like it to start right now. We’d leave [this] room if we knew the war could end… there’s some additional fighting that’s going to go on.”
