On March 7, the U.S. President Trump posted on the social media platform 'Truth Social' that to end the Ukraine conflict, he was considering imposing more sanctions and tariffs on Russia to push Russia back to the negotiation table.
He wrote, 'Given that Russia is now absolutely 'pounding' Ukraine on the battlefield', he was strongly considering implementing large - scale sanctions on Russia in areas such as banking and tariffs until a cease - fire is achieved and a final peaceful settlement agreement is reached.
He called on Russia and Ukraine to 'sit at the negotiation table now, or it will be too late'.
After a large - scale air strike by the Russian army on multiple locations in Ukraine, on March 7 local time, the Ukrainian President Zelensky called for an air and sea cease - fire and urged allies to put pressure on Russia to end the conflict. Zelensky made this appeal through the social media platform 'Telegram'.
