 U.S. President Donald Trump said Russia faces very serious consequences if his meeting in Alaska with Vladimir Putin is unsuccessful, he said during a press conference at the Kennedy Center.

When asked by a reporter whether there would be consequences for Putin and Russia if he did not agree to stop the war on Friday, the U.S. president replied briefly: "There will be very serious consequences."

Later, when asked by a journalist whether Trump hoped to convince Putin to stop striking civilians in Ukraine, Trump replied that he had a lot of good conversations with Putin, after which missiles were aimed at cities and buildings, so he was not sure that he would succeed.
