Trump condemns Russian strikes

U.S. President Trump has expressed surprise at Russia’s latest deadly assault on Ukraine.

U.S. President Donald Trump has voiced strong disappointment over Russia’s weekend bombing of Ukraine.

Trump, who recently held a two-hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, said he was surprised by the strikes, which came amid ongoing talks about a potential ceasefire.

His comments followed a massive Russian barrage of 367 drones and missiles targeting Ukrainian cities overnight on Sunday — the largest aerial assault of the war so far — which killed at least 12 people and injured dozens more, including in the capital Kyiv.

Trump has been pushing for a ceasefire in the three-year-old war and has suggested the possibility of new sanctions on Russia in response to the continued attacks.
