Trump slams Putin as ‘very disappointing’ after massive Ukraine strike

president Donald Trump said he would meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Voludimir Zellixse in the coming weeks.

The President’s comments come after Russia’s strike was widely condemned against Ukraine.

Russian forces fired hundreds of drones and missiles in Ukrainian cities on Sunday night. The attack, which was called the largest air attack so far, targeted the Ukrainian capital in Kiev.

Ukrainian officials said that at least 12 people were killed and dozens were wounded.

Although previous strikes have proven to be more deadly, the attack is the largest air attack on the number of weapons: 298 drones and 69 missiles were launched.

On Wednesday, the president was asked whether he believed Putin really wanted to end the war with Ukraine, which Trump answered: “I cannot tell you that, but I will tell you within about two weeks.”

“Within two weeks, we will discover whether or not he clicked on us,” Trump told reporters at the Oval Office during the ceremony of the Peruvian committees as an American temporary lawyer. “If so, we will respond slightly differently.”

Trump said that his special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkev, “is doing a tremendous job” and “dealing with them strongly at the present time.”

“It seems that they want to do something,” Trump said.

But Trump once again condemned the Russian attack, saying that he “is very disappointed with what happened for two nights now, as people were killed – as you call negotiating.”

“I am very disappointed,” Trump said. “Very, very disappointing.”

When asked if he was planning to sit with Putin and Zillinsky, Trump said he would be ready.

Trump said: “Well, if that is necessary … We must, at this point. I hope you are in this way two months ago, but at this stage we are working on President Putin, and we will see where we are,” Trump said. “I think we are fine, but we will see.”

Special Envoy Keith Kelog is preparing for potential conversations in Geneva, although it is still unclear when they will be considered. Russia has not yet agreed to the United States’ peace proposal, and the Foreign Ministry claimed on Tuesday that it is still working on the note of the conditions.

Russia has proposed a possible meeting in Istabul, Türkiye.

Meanwhile, the president said again on Wednesday: “I don’t like what is happening. It is one thing I will say – I don’t like when I see that the missiles are shot in cities. This is not good. We will not allow this.”

During the weekend, the president bombed Putin, saying he “kills many people.”

“I don’t know what happened against Putin’s hell,” he said at the weekend. “I knew him a long time ago, and he always arrived with him, but he sends missiles to cities and kills people, and I do not like it at all.”

In a post on Telegram, Zelenskyy called for an international response to the attack.

“The silence of America, the silence of others in the world only encourages Putin.” “Each of this Russian terrorist strike is a sufficient reason for new sanctions against Russia.”

Trump expanded his comments later on Sunday, and writing on the social truth that Putin “has become completely crazy!” While also criticizes Zelinski.

“I have always said that (Putin) wants all Ukraine, not just a part of it, and it may be right, but if he does that, this will lead to the fall of Russia!” Reading social media. Likewise, President Zelinski does not do his country, and he is not preferred by speaking the way he does. Everything from his mouth causes problems, I do not like that, and it is better to stop. “

Trump concluded that “this is a war that you never had if you were president.” “This is the Zelenskyy War, Putin, the Biden War, and not” Trump “, I just help in extinguishing the large and ugly fires that started through inefficiency and grave hatred.”
