Trump called Putin “crazy” after Russia’s record-breaking missile assault on Ukraine, marking his harshest public criticism yet of the Russian leader.
U.S. President Donald Trump sharply criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling him “absolutely crazy” in a Truth Social post following Russia’s massive aerial attack on Ukrainian cities. Trump, who once touted a strong rapport with Putin, suggested the Russian leader has changed drastically.
He also took aim at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, accusing him of making unhelpful remarks that exacerbate tensions. The Russian attack, reportedly the most extensive since the war began, involved 367 drones and missiles and resulted in the deaths of at least 12 civilians, including three children in the Zhytomyr region.
