Speaking after a phone call with the Russian president, the US president said: "President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields."
Russian officials declined to confirm this on Wednesday night, but Moscow had earlier said that military options were "on the table" for its response.
Trump warned in a social media post that the phone call, which lasted more than an hour, would not "lead to immediate peace" between Russia and Ukraine.
Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti reported that Putin told Trump that Ukraine had tried to "disrupt" the negotiations and that the government in Kyiv has "essentially turned into a terrorist organisation".
