New Delhi: US President Donald Trump announced during a press meet at the White House on Sunday, 07 September 2025, that he is ready to impose secondary sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine war. Trump took a tough stand against Russia and said that these sanctions can remain in force until a ceasefire and peace agreement is reached between Russia and Ukraine. His statement comes at a time when Russia has carried out large-scale missile and drone attacks on Ukraine’s energy structures just a day earlier.
The US recently banned military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine
The Trump administration recently banned military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, after which Russia further intensified attacks against Ukraine.
Donald Trump wrote on his social media platform, ‘Truth Social’, “Russia is crushing Ukraine badly on the battlefield right now. I am considering massive banking sanctions, other sanctions and tariffs until a ceasefire and final peace agreement is reached. Russia and Ukraine, come to the table now, before it is too late.”
The US President’s announcement of imposing secondary sanctions on Russia may increase tensions in global diplomacy, as tensions between Russia and Western countries are already at their peak. This move may also affect the global economy and energy market.
New sanctions could have a profound impact on global energy markets
Russia, one of the world’s largest oil producers, is already facing more than 20,000 sanctions imposed on it by Western countries and the USA after it invaded Ukraine in 2022. Trump’s threat of new sanctions could have a profound impact on global energy markets and diplomatic relations. Experts say Russia has developed methods such as ‘shadow fleets’ to evade sanctions, which help hide the source of oil exports. Meanwhile, Ukraine has sought more weapons from NATO countries, especially Patriot air defence systems, to counter Russian attacks.
Trump’s soft comments towards Putin have sparked criticism
Trump’s statement marks a change from his earlier stance, in which he pressured Ukraine for a peace deal. However, his soft comments towards Putin have sparked criticism. Some analysts believe that Trump’s move could be a strategy to increase pressure on Russia. Earlier, US Finance Minister Scott Bessant said that imposing more economic sanctions and secondary tariffs on Russia and countries buying oil from it, including India, would destroy Moscow’s economy. Such action will bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table for a peaceful solution to the conflict in Ukraine.
