Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has seriously miscalculated US President Donald Trump, believes Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. He expressed this opinion in the social network X, commenting on Trump's new deadline.

Graham said he fully understands Trump's frustration with Russia's continued attacks on Ukraine, which shows no real desire to sit down for peace talks.

"Putin has seriously miscalculated President Trump. I hope that countries like China, India, and Brazil that support Putin's war machine will soon pay a long overdue price," the senator wrote.

He added that the overwhelmingly bipartisan Congress is ready to help "Trump in his efforts to engage the parties in peace talks".

  • On July 14, Trump gave Russia 50 days to conclude a peace deal, otherwise he threatened to impose secondary duties on countries buying resources from the aggressor state.
  • On July 28, Trump threatened to reduce the time limit he gave the Russian dictator to conclude a peace deal. Later he clarified that it was about 10-12 days.
