US President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin
US President Donald Trump voiced strong criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin, expressing deep frustration over their latest conversation about the ongoing war in Ukraine. Calling the situation “no good", Donald Trump said he was “very unhappy" with the call, as he accused Vladimir Putin of wanting to “keep killing people."
“It’s a very tough situation," Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, adding, “He wants to go all the way- just keep killing people. It’s no good."
US To Impose Sanctions On Russia?
The US president also suggested that additional US sanctions on Moscow could be imminent, saying sanctions were a recurring topic in his conversations with Vladimir Putin. He said, “He understands that it may be coming."
Despite previously criticizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Donald Trump described a separate Friday call with the Ukrainian leader as “very strategic." The two reportedly discussed bolstering Ukraine’s air defense capabilities following Russia’s largest missile and drone assault since the war began over three years ago. According to AFP, Zelenskyy said the pair agreed to work on strengthening air defenses.
In another diplomatic exchange, Donald Trump spoke with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz about the potential deployment of US-made Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine. Donald Trump said no final decision had been made but acknowledged Friedrich Merz’s position saying, “He feels they have to be protected."
