Trump exploits Putin as

Kyiv, Ukraine – Russia launched its greatest drone attack against Ukraine during the night since more three -year war He started, said a Ukrainian official on Monday. President Trump said Russian leader Vladimir Putin had “absolutely crazy” to intensify Ukraine bombardment As well as the United States tries to negotiate a peace agreement.

The attack on Sunday night of Russia included the launch of 355 drones, Yuriy Ihnat, head of the Communications Department of the Ukraine Air Force, said News. The night before, Russia fired 298 drones and 69 missiles of various types in what the Ukrainian authorities said was the largest combined aerial assault during the conflict. In general, from Friday to Sunday, Russia launched around 900 drones in Ukraine, authorities said.

The climb seemed to frustrate the hope that Mr. Trump’s peace efforts could lead to a short -term advance, since Putin seems determined to capture more Ukrainian territory and inflict more damage.

Russia has broken this month its record of air bombing of Ukraine three times. The expansion of his aerial campaign occurred after kyiv in March accepted a high unconditional fire proposed by the United States, but Moscow effectively rejected it. Russia also continues to push along the front line of approximately 620 miles, where it has made slow and expensive progress, and is gathering its forces for a summer offensive, they say military and military analysts.

Trump made it clear that he is losing patience with Putin.

“I have always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin de Russia, but something has happened to him. He has become absolutely crazy!” The president of the United States wrote Sunday night in a publication about his social platform of truth.

Putin “is unnecessarily killing many people,” Trump said, noting that “missiles and drones are being triggered to the cities of Ukraine, without any reason.”

He warned that if Putin wants to conquer all Ukraine, “he will lead to the fall of Russia!”

But Mr. Trump again expressed his frustration with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as well, saying that “he has no favors when talking in the way he does.”

Zelenskyy reacted to Russian attacks during the night in his own publication on social networks on Monday, saying: “Only a feeling of total impunity can allow Russia to perform such attacks and continuously scale its scale … There is no significant military logic for this, but there is considerable political significance.”

He repeated his call to more strict international economic sanctions as a way of finishing the war, because the “desire to fight Russia must be deprived of resources.”

Russia and Europe react to Trump’s comments on Putin

The Russian government seemed to minimize Trump’s comments on Putin as an emotional outburst, however, some European leaders, who have been frustrated for months by the president of the United States. Repeat Kremlin conversation points On the war and the ridiculizing of the Zelenskyy government, it seemed to have some hope for the change of tactics.

In the Kremlin, Putin’s main spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Monday that “the beginning of the Negotiation process [with Ukraine]for which the American side has done a lot, it is a very important achievement. We are very grateful to the Americans and President Trump personally for his help to organize and launch this negotiation process. This is a very important achievement … Of course, at the same time, this is a very crucial moment, which is associated, of course, with everyone’s emotional overload, absolutely and with emotional reactions. We follow this very closely. “

However, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, told reporters during a visit to Vietnam that it seemed that Trump seemed to realize that Putin had “lied” about wanting to find a diplomatic resolution to war. The French leader said that his hope was that the anger of Mr. Trump with Moscow “translates into action”, and asked the international partners of Ukraine to establish a firm deadline for Moscow for a high fire, with the threat of “mass sanctions” in case Putin continues to reject.

Meanwhile, the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, told the station of his WDR country that “Putin obviously sees offers of conversations as a sign of weakness,” emphasizing the rejection of the Kremlin of the direct conversations proposed with Ukraine in the Vatican as evidence that “we must be prepared for this war to last more than we want or we can imagine.”

Merz said that several of Ukraine members had already eliminated restrictions by allowing their military aid to be used for strikes at the bottom of Russia.

“There are no longer rank restrictions on weapons delivered to Ukraine. Not from the British, nor the French, nor of us … and not of the Americans either,” said Merz on Monday. “This means that Ukraine can now also defend himself by attacking military objectives in Russia. For a long time, he could not do it, and with some exceptions, we did not call this long -range fire, which Ukraine means in such a way that he can also attack the military objectives inside inside, and it is the decisive decisive difference, the Ukrina War of UKRIN Civil, regardless of civilians, regardless of, certifications, regardless of civilians, are not civil, regardless of civilians, regardless of cities, civilians, regardless of cities.

The main diplomat of the European Union, the Chief of Foreign Policy Kaja Kallas, previously described the latest attacks against kyiv as “totally terrible” and said that the block was intended to impose more sanctions on Russia.

Trump has also threatened mass sanctions against Moscow, but so far he has not taken measures.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Putin makes decisions necessary to guarantee Russia’s security and that the attacks were Moscow’s response to the deep blows of Ukraine.
