President Donald Trump has raised new doubts about Russia's intentions in Ukraine, questioning whether President Vladimir Putin genuinely seeks to end the conflict. Trump’s comments, made via social media as he returned to the United States following Pope Francis' funeral, contrast with his earlier statement that Ukraine and Russia were "very close to a deal."
Trump condemned Putin's recent missile strikes on civilian areas, calling them unjustified. He speculated that Putin may not want to end the war, suggesting the need for a different approach, possibly through banking or secondary sanctions. "Too many people are dying!!!" Trump emphasised in his post.
On the same day, Trump briefly met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Vatican before the pope’s funeral.
