Russia Ukraine War: Amidst the ongoing war and severe cold in Ukraine, US President Donald Trump has given a big statement on humanitarian grounds. Trump has said that he has requested Russian President Vladimir Putin not to attack Ukraine’s capital Kiev and other cities for at least a week, so that ordinary citizens can get relief during the severe winter.
