U.S. President Donald Trump has lambasted Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that he has changed and does not know what is happening to the Russian president.
According to Trump, he was in the middle of talking to Putin and he is shooting rockets into Kyiv and other cities.
“I don’t like it at all, Putin is killing people,” Trump said.
In a post on social media, Trump also delivered sharp criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, calling for a change in his rhetoric.
“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers!” Trump posted on Truth Social in reference to Putin.

“Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!”
The statement followed an overnight assault by Russia on Ukrainian cities, during which a minimum of 367 drones and missiles were deployed.
Ukrainian officials confirmed that 12 people were killed in the strikes, including three children in the northern region of Zhytomyr. The attack marked the most extensive aerial offensive in terms of weapons fired since the war began.
Russian forces are making gains in eastern Ukraine as both sides launch swarms of drones in increasingly high-tech battles along the frontlines.
