Trump condemns ‘disgusting’ Russian attacks on Ukraine and confirms sanctions threat | BBC News


US President Donald Trump has condemned Russia’s actions in Ukraine, saying “I think it’s disgusting what they’re doing”. Trump confirmed that he plans to impose economic sanctions on Moscow within days if no ceasefire agreement is reached.

It follows some of the deadliest Russian attacks on Ukraine’s capital since Russia’s full scale invasion. Officials in Kyiv say at least 16 people were killed and more than 150 injured, many of them children, when missiles rained down on residential areas of the city.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, President Trump said he was not sure whether sanctions would deter Russia. He has given Russian President Vladimir Putin until August 8 to agree a deal or face tariffs and economic sanctions.

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Jonathan Beale in Kyiv and Gary O’Donoghue in Washington.
