EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) \u2014 U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he is giving Russian President Vladimir Putin 10 to 12 days to stop the killing in Ukraine,\u00a0shortening a 50-day deadline<\/a>\u00a0he had given the Russian leader two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Russia fired an overnight barrage of more than 300 drones, four cruise missiles and three ballistic missiles, the Ukrainian air force said, as the Russian bombardment of Ukrainian cities continued despite Trump’s pressure for it to end.\u00a0U.S.-led peace efforts<\/a>\u00a0have also failed to gain momentum.<\/p>\n

Trump had said on July 14 that he would implement \u201csevere tariffs\u201d on Russia unless a peace deal is reached by early September. On Monday, Trump said he would now give Putin 10 to 12 days, meaning he wants peace efforts to make progress by Aug. 7-9.<\/p>\n

The plan includes possible sanctions and secondary tariffs targeting Russia\u2019s trading partners. The formal announcement would come later Monday or on Tuesday, Trump said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo reason in waiting,\u201d Trump said of the shorter timeline. \u201cWe just don\u2019t see any progress being made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Putin has \u201cgot to make a deal. Too many people are dying,\u201d Trump said during a visit to Scotland.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate response from Russia.<\/p>\n

Trump repeated his criticism of Putin for talking about ending the war but continuing to bombard Ukrainian civilians.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I say, that\u2019s not the way to do it,\u201d Trump said. He added, \u201cI\u2019m disappointed in President Putin.\u201d<\/p>\n
