President Trump is no longer playing Mr. Nice Guy with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

While speaking to the press in Scotland, President Trump revealed his disappointment with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

He continued to share that Putin’s original 50-day deadline for making a peace deal with Ukraine will now be reduced to only 10 days.

Watch Trump here:

Fox News reported on Trump’s comments on Russia with more context:

President Donald Trump on Monday said he was “very disappointed” in Russian President Vladimir Putin and said he will “reduce” the original 50-day deadline he set earlier this month to 10–12 days from today.

“I’m going to make a new deadline, of about 10, 10 or 12 days from today,” Trump told reporters from Scotland. “There’s no reason for waiting. It was 50 days. I wanted to be generous, but we just don’t see any progress being made.”

Trump originally set a 50-day deadline for Putin to reach a peace deal on July 14 while meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in Washington, D.C. However, by moving up the deadline to 12-days from Monday, he cut the overall end date in half.

“I’m not so interested in talking anymore,” Trump told reporters while sitting next to British Prime Minister Kier Starmer after he said Moscow and Washington “might make a deal” ahead of the secondary sanctions set to be implemented now in less than two weeks.

“He talks – we have such nice conversations, such respectful and nice conversation. And then, people die the following night,” Trump added on Monday.

“So we’re going to have to look, and I’m going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number, because I think I already know the answer.”

Trump’s comments came just hours after Russia unleashed more than 300 drones and missiles across Ukraine, prompting not only Kyiv to scramble its air force, but Poland’s Operational Command said it too had deployed fighter jets to the sky.

In recent months, Trump has been noticeably upset with Putin.

Take a look:

CNN reported how Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded to Trump’s announcement:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday hailed Donald Trump’s “determination” after the US president said he was reducing his deadline for Russia to agree a peace deal with Ukraine.

“Clear stance and expressed determination by @POTUS – right on time, when a lot can change through strength for real peace,” Zelensky posted on X. “I thank President Trump for his focus on saving lives and stopping this horrible war.”

Zelensky added that Ukraine will work with the United States to make “both our countries safer, stronger, and more prosperous.”

Earlier on Monday, Trump said that he was reducing the 50-day deadline he had previously given to Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree a peace deal with Ukraine to “10 to 12 days.”

Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s chief of staff, said previously that Trump was “standing firm and delivering a clear message of peace through strength.”
