US President Donald Trump has appeared to set a two-week deadline for Vladimir Putin, threatening a different response if the Russian counterpart was still stringing him along.
As the Kremlin escalated its attacks on Ukraine, Trump was asked in the Oval Office on Wednesday if he thought Putin wanted to end the war.
"I can't tell you that, but I'll let you know in about two weeks," Trump told reporters, the latest amid a string of critical public remarks made by Trump about Putin.
Since Sunday, Trump has written multiple posts on social media saying that Putin has gone "absolutely crazy" and is "playing with fire" after Russia intensified its attacks on Ukraine.
The bombardments by Russia are said to have been some of the largest and deadliest attacks since the start of the war, now in its fourth year.
Russian strikes in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, killed at least 13 people and injured dozens more, including children, over the weekend.
And by Wednesday, the attacks had shown no signs of slowing down.
