- Trump also criticizes Zelenskyy, claiming his words create more problems than solutions.
- Trump announced upcoming peace talks, but the Kremlin denied any scheduled negotiations.
President Donald Trump slammed Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday night. He said Putin is no longer the leader he used to know. In a social media post, Trump wrote, “I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!” Trump used stronger language than ever before to describe the Russian leader. His message came after Russia launched deadly drone and missile strikes on Ukraine for the third night in a row. The latest attacks killed at least 12 people and injured dozens more. Ukrainian officials called it the largest aerial assault since the full-scale war began in February 2022.
Trump Blames Putin for Needless Violence in Ukraine
Trump said Putin is “needlessly killing a lot of people.” He described the air strikes as senseless and cruel. “Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever,” Trump added. He didn’t hold back. Trump made it clear that Putin’s actions crossed a line. He also warned of serious consequences for Russia if the war continues. Trump wrote, “If he wants to conquer all of Ukraine, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!” His message signals growing frustration over Putin’s aggression and the ongoing violence, which Trump’s recent comments clearly reveal.
Trump Also Scolds Ukraine’s Leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Trump didn’t just blame Putin. He also criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump said Zelenskyy’s tone causes more problems than solutions. “He is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does,” Trump posted. “Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don’t like it, and it better stop.” Trump expressed irritation with both leaders and showed his disappointment with how the war has dragged on. He previously claimed he could end the war quickly if he were in office again. But now, he seems tired of the ongoing conflict and the lack of progress, offering sharp words amidst the chaos akin to Trump blasting Putin’s recent actions.
Trump Says Putin Acts Like a Different Person Now
Earlier on Sunday, Trump spoke with reporters before leaving New Jersey. He said he no longer understands what Putin is doing. “I’m not happy with what Putin’s doing. He’s killing a lot of people. And I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin,” Trump said. He recalled their past relationship. “I’ve known him a long time, always gotten along with him, but he’s sending rockets into cities and killing people and I don’t like it at all.” These words show a major shift in Trump’s public stance. For years, he defended his friendly relationship with Putin. But now, that tone has clearly changed, with Trump’s harsh words reflecting his recent blasting of Putin.
Trump Claims Peace Talks Will Begin, Kremlin Denies It
Despite his frustration, Trump recently spoke to Putin by phone. After the call, Trump claimed both sides would “immediately” begin ceasefire talks. He said this shortly after Russian and Ukrainian officials met in Turkey. That meeting was the first in-person discussion between the two sides since 2022. However, the Kremlin later said no direct talks were actually scheduled. This casts doubt on Trump’s announcement. The chances of a peace agreement still appear slim. The war shows no signs of ending soon, even as Trump blasts Putin’s recent lack of willingness to negotiate.
Europe Sanctions Russia Again While Trump Threatens Action
This month, the European Union punished Russia with new sanctions. The EU acted after Putin again refused to agree to a ceasefire. Trump also talked about stronger punishment. He threatened more sanctions and tariffs against Russia. However, he has not yet followed through. His words may add pressure, but so far, there’s been no action. Both Russia and Ukraine remain locked in a brutal war with no resolution in sight. Trump’s growing anger reflects how long the conflict has lasted and how little progress leaders have made, echoing his earlier blasting of Putin’s recent decisions.
