India, July 8 -- US President Donald Trump on Tuesday lashed out at his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin over peace talks in Ukraine, as he hinted at interest in placing fresh sanctions on Moscow.

"We get a lot of bullsh**t thrown at us by Putin if you want to know the truth. He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless," Donald Trump told reporters during a cabinet meeting at the White House.

On being asked about his interest in a bill proposed by the Senate for further sanctions on Russia, the US president replied, "I am looking at it very strongly."
