MORRISTOWN, New Jersey, May 25 (Reuters) - In a recent statement, U.S. President Donald Trump conveyed his profound dissatisfaction regarding the recent escalation of violence in Ukraine due to Russia’s relentless bombing campaign. As he spoke to reporters at the airport in Morristown, New Jersey, Trump made it clear that he is not pleased with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “I don't know what's wrong with him. What the hell happened to him? Right? He's killing a lot of people,” Trump expressed.
Trump’s comments came in response to a devastating attack from Russia, which involved a barrage of 367 drones and missiles targeting Ukrainian cities overnight on Sunday. This marked the largest aerial assault of the ongoing war, resulting in the tragic loss of at least 12 lives and leaving dozens more injured. The strikes notably impacted the capital, Kyiv, raising serious concerns over the safety of its residents and the escalating humanitarian crisis.
In his remarks, Trump reiterated his ongoing efforts to mediate a ceasefire in the three-year-old conflict in Ukraine. He revealed that he had a lengthy conversation with Putin last week, lasting over two hours, wherein he discussed the potential for increased sanctions against Russia in light of the continuous attacks. “I’ve always gotten along with him, but he’s sending rockets into cities and killing people, and I don’t like it at all,” Trump stated.
Trump's recent comments underscore the growing frustration among U.S. leaders regarding Russia's military aggression in Ukraine. As the situation continues to evolve, the possibility of further diplomatic efforts and sanctions remains on the table as the U.S. seeks to address the humanitarian crisis and promote peace in the region.
