President Donald Trump escalated pressure on Russia in his bid to secure a ceasefire over its war in Ukraine on the same day that an American envoy met with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Russia has to get moving,” Trump wrote in a post to his social media platform on Friday, bemoaning the death toll and calling it a “terrible and senseless war.”
