Trump says he is ready to impose new sanctions on Russia. What does this mean for Putin’s war in Ukraine?

Russia is the most sanctioned country in the world. However, despite real pain at home it’s economy is growing. Would fresh sanctions finally halt Putin’s advance?

EU officials are meeting with their US counterparts to discuss what could be the first coordinated transatlantic sanctions against Russia since Donald Trump returned to the White House. The US president, who has previously stepped back from financial threats to Russia, has this week said he is ready to move to a second stage of sanctions. Their form, if they were to come, is however not yet clear.
