Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, praised President Trump for shortening Russia\u2019s deadline<\/a> to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine but said the move is \u201clong overdue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToo many innocent lives are at stake for President Trump to let Putin continue playing him for time. This shorter deadline is a positive step, but long overdue,\u201d Shaheen said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Trump said Monday he plans to shorten the timeline for Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine to \u201cabout 10 or 12 days from today,\u201d adding, \u201cWe just don\u2019t see any progress being made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump on July 14 said<\/a> Russia would face additional sanctions and tariffs if it did not stop fighting in Ukraine within 50 days, putting the deadline at Sept. 2. But Monday, the president indicated he would push up that time frame to early August.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thought we had that settled numerous times, and then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city like Kyiv and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever,\u201d Trump said standing alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. \u201cYou have bodies lying all over the street. And I say that\u2019s not the way to do it. So we\u2019ll see what happens with that. I\u2019m very disappointed. I\u2019m disappointed in President Putin.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to reduce that 50 days. I gave him to a lesser number, because I think I already know the answer what\u2019s going to happen,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n

Shaheen urged the president to make good on his warning, saying Congress must also do its part in moving a sanctions package forward against Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President needs to match his words with real action and not let Putin cross yet another red line,\u201d Shaheen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time we must continue to press forward in Congress on bipartisan legislation to impose punishing sanctions on the Kremlin and ensure Ukraine has the support it needs to finally bring Putin to the negotiating table,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
