US President Donald Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump avoided answering whether he would impose additional sanctions against Russia as it continues to attack Ukraine.

He said this during a press conference at the White House, Censor.NET reports.

A journalist asked Trump whether he plans to impose new sanctions against Russia because it continues to shell Ukraine.

The US President replied: "Well, they [Ukraine and Russia] are fighting each other. We have a ceasefire in a lot of areas, so far that's all held very well."

Trump also reiterated that "some soldiers were surrounded by other soldiers" and added that a full ceasefire would soon be achieved in Ukraine, and then a peace agreement.
