Trump Expresses Disapproval of Putin’s Actions
Former U.S. President Donald Trump voiced his anger toward Russian President Vladimir Putin following one of the most intense Russian attacks on Ukraine to date. Speaking at the Morristown Airport in New Jersey, Trump said, “I’m angry with Putin, he’s not doing the right thing,” expressing concern over the latest wave of airstrikes that caused severe destruction in Ukraine.
Russia Launches Largest Airstrike Since War Began
On Saturday night, Russia launched an unprecedented aerial assault on Ukraine, deploying 367 drones and missiles, making it the largest attack of the war so far. Ukrainian capital Kyiv and multiple cities were targeted, resulting in widespread damage.
Casualties and Damage Reported
The assault led to the deaths of 13 civilians, including three children from Zhytomyr, and left over 60 people injured. Russia reportedly used 298 drones and 69 types of missiles in the strikes. Ukrainian officials report substantial property loss across multiple regions.
Zelensky Criticizes Global Silence
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the international community’s subdued response. In a Telegram post, he stated that global silence, particularly from the U.S., is encouraging Putin to escalate attacks. He argued that the recent strike qualifies as a terrorist act and merits fresh sanctions against Russia.
Russia Claims to Have Neutralized Ukrainian Drones
The Russian Defense Ministry stated that it intercepted 95 Ukrainian drones overnight, with 12 headed toward Moscow. This claim comes amid ongoing international scrutiny and calls for de-escalation.
Trump Refuses to Back New Sanctions
While the European Union and the UK have introduced new sanctions in response to the attack, Trump has declined to support any additional punitive measures against Russia, distancing himself from the global push to pressure the Kremlin.
