What happened
This was the third consecutive two-week deadline on Putin in about a month, and became the most-cited example of the pattern. The two weeks expired around June 11, 2025 with no verdict and no new response. Trump instead issued a 50-day ultimatum on July 14, 2025, then shortened it to 10-12 days on July 28. Russia's war continued.
