<h2>'Very angry, pissed off'</h2>

Putin&rsquo;s comments, delivered on Friday, included a call for a new governing body in Ukraine, a move that could potentially sideline Zelensky.
Trump responded by warning of possible economic consequences. &ldquo;If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia&rsquo;s fault, which it might not be, but if I think it was Russia&rsquo;s fault, I am going to put secondary tariffs on oil, on all oil coming out of Russia,&rdquo; he said.

Trump said that the tariffs would include Russian oil and other products sold in the US, saying they would come into effect within a month if a ceasefire is not reached. &ldquo;There will be a 25% tariff on oil and other products sold in the United States, secondary tariffs,&rdquo; he said.

According to Trump, he and Putin are expected to speak again later this week.
Ending the conflict in Ukraine has been a central part of Trump&rsquo;s foreign policy agenda in his second term. In the early months of his return to office, meetings were held between US, Ukrainian, and Russian officials.
Last week, Russia and Ukraine agreed to a limited ceasefire, allowing safe passage through the Black Sea and pausing attacks on each other&rsquo;s energy infrastructure.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday criticised statements by White House envoy Steve Witkoff, who recently praised Russian leader Vladimir Putin and appeared to legitimise Russia's annexation of some Ukrainian regions.
The comments by Witkoff, in an interview with the right-wing podcast host Tucker Carlson, were seen in Kyiv as another sign of how far some in US President Donald Trump's administration have shifted away from Ukraine toward Russia.
"A lot of the information spread by some people and the person you mentioned... are very much in line with the messages of the Kremlin," Zelensky said, answering a question on the interview given by Witkoff.

Trump's envoy said "there's a view within the country of Russia that these are Russian territories".
He cited a series of referendums conducted by Russia in occupied territories that purported to show support for Moscow's rule, but were condemned as illegitimate by Ukraine and much of the international community.
"No one can legitimise these referendums because they were held at gunpoint," Zelensky said, adding that "no one recognises these territories as Russian".
