Trump Condemns Russia’s Deadliest Ukraine Attack

President Donald Trump issued his strongest criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin after Russia's largest aerial assault on Ukraine since the 2022 invasion, which killed at least 12 civilians and injured dozens more. Trump stated he is 'not happy' with Putin, calling him 'absolutely crazy' and warning that trying to seize all of Ukraine could lead to Russia's downfall. He also criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, saying his rhetoric is unhelpful and contributes to tension. The attacks coincided with a prisoner exchange and ongoing U.S.-brokered peace talks, with Trump indicating that further sanctions against Moscow could be considered. Ukrainian officials and Zelensky have called for stronger U.S. action, warning that American silence emboldens Putin. The conflict continues amid international diplomatic efforts and mounting casualties.
