President Donald Trump called on Vladimir Putin to halt missile strikes on Kyiv, urging a return to peace talks amid rising casualties.
President Donald Trump on Thursday issued a rare public criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin after a deadly missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed at least ni12 people and injured over 90.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. “Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!”
