Trump says it is 'disgusting' what Russia doing to Ukraine

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday sharply criticized Russia's "disgusting" behavior against Ukraine and said he plans to impose sanctions on Moscow if no agreement can be reached.

Trump, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, said he was not sure whether sanctions would deter Russia. He has given Russian President Vladimir Putin until August 8 to make a deal or else he will respond with economic pressure.
