United States President, Donald Trump, has expressed strong concerns that Russian President, Vladimir Putin, may not want to end the war with Ukraine which has raged for more than three years.
Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to express his frustration with the Russian leader in a week that saw Russia launch a deadly missile attack on Kyiv. The Thursday attack on Ukraine killed at least 10 and injured at least 90, including children, Ukraine said.
“There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days,” Trump wrote, shortly after he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Vatican on Saturday at Pope Francis’ funeral.
“It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through ‘Banking’ or ‘Secondary Sanctions?’ Too many people are dying!!!”
