President Trump blasted Vladimir Putin on Thursday and urged the Russian president to “STOP!” after Moscow launched its deadliest assault on Ukraine in nearly a yr in a single day.
“I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV,” Trump raged in a Reality Social put up.
“Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!”
His uncommon criticism of Putin got here quickly after Russia struck Kyiv with an hours-long barrage of missiles and drones — killing not less than 9 and wounding greater than 70.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky branded the assault, which is the deadliest there since final July, as “one of the most outrageous.”
He appeared to take a swipe on the White Home, too, because the Trump administration continues to push peace efforts to finish the three-year warfare.
Trump on Wednesday questioned Kyiv’s readiness to succeed in a peace deal, regardless of Zelensky having signed on to a Trump-proposed cease-fire settlement greater than a month in the past.
In the meantime, the president claimed with out proof that Moscow was “ready” to finish its warfare.
