U.S. President Donald Trump has been making tough remarks toward Russian President Vladimir Putin every day since his inauguration.

It is said to be an unusual move because President Trump has been controversial over his pro-Putin tendency.

Analysts say it is part of a negotiating pressure tactic to quickly end the war in Ukraine and a warning to Putin, who is growing visibly in close contact with China and Iran.

President Trump said at a press conference on the 21st (local time) on his second day in office that additional sanctions could be imposed if Putin does not come to negotiations with Ukraine to end the war.

On the 20th, the day of his inauguration, he said he would try to end the war in Ukraine as soon as possible and meet with Putin. I think he's destroying Russia by not making an agreement."

He also said, "He's not doing well. Russia is bigger and has a lot of troops to lose, but that's not how the country operates."

It is unusual for President Trump to use such intense expressions against President Putin.

The New York Times (NYT) also pointed out that it was "the most critical comment President Trump has ever made about Putin."

Putin, too, is bracing for the risks that Trump may pose.

It signed a treaty last week to expand military and economic cooperation with Iranian President Masud Pejeshikyan, and on Monday, it held a video call with Chinese President Xi Jinping to strengthen its friendship.
