Trump's stance on Putin and Russia
Recently, CNN published an audio recording in which Trump allegedly described how he once tried to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine by threatening to bomb Moscow to hell.
The recording was reportedly made during Trump's 2024 presidential campaign events in New York and Florida, likely while he was seeking a second term. More details about the recording and Trump's remarks can be found in RBC-Ukraine's report.
On July 3, Putin stated that he had a scheduled conversation with US President Donald Trump. Details of what Trump and Putin discussed are also covered by RBC-Ukraine.
Trump has also expressed dissatisfaction with Russia's massive drone assault on Ukraine, which involved over 700 drones. He said that up to 7,000 people are dying each week on both sides. Later, he added that he was disappointed in Putin and warned of a surprise for the Russian leader.
Moreover, Trump announced that he would soon make an important statement regarding the war started by Russia against Ukraine.
"I'm disappointed in Russia, but we'll see what happens over the next couple of weeks. I think I'll have a major statement to make on Russia on Monday," he said.
