'Severe consequences', Trump warns Putin ahead of meeting

US President Donald Trump said, there will be "very severe consequences" if Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn't agree to stop the Ukraine war after Friday's summit. Trump was "very clear" in a virtual meeting Wednesday with European leaders that the US wants to achieve a ceasefire at the upcoming US-Russia summit in Alaska, French President Emmanuel Macron said.

In the same meeting, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he told the group that Putin "is bluffing" ahead of the planned meeting with Trump. Putin, Zelensky said, "is trying to apply pressure ... on all sectors of the Ukrainian front" in an attempt to show that Russia is "capable of occupying all of Ukraine." Putin is also bluffing about sanctions, "as if they do not matter to him and are ineffective. In reality, sanctions are very helpful and are hitting Russia's war economy hard," Zelensky said.

Answering a reporter's question at the Kennedy Centre on Wednesday, Trump stated that Russia will face actions if it does not agree for a halt after his meeting with Putin in Alaska. further added that he will pitch for a second meeting which will include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The meeting between Trump and Putin is set for Friday, August 15. As per an AP report, the meeting will be held at a military base in Alaska. Speaking to AP on the condition of anonymity, a White House official said the meeting will take place at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, which was crucial base during the peak of Cold War between the US and Soviet Union.
