NEW JERSEY: US President Donald Trump didn’t hold back, declaring Vladimir Putin has “gone absolutely CRAZY” after Russia unleashed the largest aerial assault of the Ukraine war.
Speaking at an airport, Trump criticized Putin’s escalating aggression and hinted at more sanctions on Moscow.
Trump claimed Putin’s ambitions stretch beyond a part of Ukraine — warning that trying to take it all could lead to Russia’s downfall.
But he also fired a sharp rebuke at Ukrainian President Zelenskiy, saying his public statements were causing problems and needed to stop.
Escalation on the Battlefield and in Diplomacy
The Kremlin responded calmly, attributing Trump’s harsh words to emotional overload and thanking him for support in peace talks.
Meanwhile, Russia’s massive drone and missile barrage battered Ukrainian cities overnight, causing civilian casualties and marking the deadliest strike in terms of weapons used so far.
War Drags On as Powers Push for Peace
Despite global pressure, fighting rages on, with drones swarming and battles raging along critical fronts.
Russia calls its actions a “special military operation” to defend against NATO, while Ukraine insists it’s facing unprovoked invasion.
