EXCERPT:
LIPTAK: "Now, it‘s only a week ago tomorrow that the president and Putin spoke by telephone. Afterwards, President Trump said that he thought that Putin was serious about trying to reach a peace deal. He said that Ukraine and Russia would start direct negotiations to try and come up with a cease fire, essentially saying that the U.S. would back away from a mediating role. He also told European leaders on that day that he would not go along, at least for now, on new sanctions on Russia. But the president saying something very different this evening. When he was asked whether new sanctions were possible, he said absolutely. And so the president clearly very frustrated that the pace of these ceasefire talks is not proceeding, perhaps, as quickly as he would like, Omar."
