Donald Trump is losing patience with Vladimir Putin’s stalling tactics over the Ukraine ceasefire, the Finnish president, Alexander Stubb, said after spending nine hours with the US president – including winning a golf competition with him at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Saturday.
Stubb, who also spent two days with the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, last week in Helsinki suggested in a Guardian interview a plan for a deadline of 20 April, by which time Putin should be required to comply with a full ceasefire.

You hear about the two Finlanders that went ice fishing?
They caught 300 pounds of ice.

Clown marcus, this is called a negotiation. Stop chasing every piece of news like a retarded puppy.
Keep the dream alive marcusmaxipad! Little Z-Man is going to invade Moscow!
Putin pissing off President Trump is not a smart thing to do. It’s stupidity, not negotiations.
Yeah! So NATO can move in all their troops and weaponry in peace!
Betting on Putin instead of President Trump is a losing bet.
Starmer's ready to go, as soon as Americans go first. Everybody into the pool!! Not.
Trump is the best chance Putin has to bring this fiasco to a close and re-integrate his economy with the Western world. He’d be an absolute fool to try Trump’s patience too far.
Golf propaganda. Stellar.
Betting on Zelensky instead of Trump is a sucker’s bet. Remember when Trump told Zelinsky to his face on national TV that he doesn’t have the cards? I do!
Zelensky has agreed to everything President Trump had asked after that meeting.
Now President Trump will bring Putin to heel.
Did you hear about the horrible accident after the two Finlanders caught the 300 pounds of ice?
They drowned while cooking it up.
