US President Donald Trump stated that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has gone absolutely crazy. He added that if Putin attempts to seize the entire Ukraine, then Russia will face collapse, according to his post on the social media platform Truth Social.
Trump’s statements came after Russia had been launching massive drone and missile attacks on Ukraine for several days.
“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia,” he wrote.
Besides criticizing Putin, Trump also aimed Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He claimed that Zelenskyy’s words allegedly cause problems.
“Likewise, President Zelenskyy is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does. Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don’t like it, and it better stop,” the US president emphasized.
Trump also reiterated that the war in Ukraine would never have started if he had been president. Furthermore, he distanced himself from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, saying it’s not his war.
“This is Zelenskyy’s, Putin’s, and Biden’s War, not “Trump’s,” I am only helping to put out the big and ugly fires, that have been started through Gross Incompetence and Hatred,” the American leader concluded.
A few hours ago, Trump told journalists that he is dissatisfied with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin. He noted that the Russian dictator is killing people and that something has happened to him.
“I don't know what the hell happened to Putin. I've known him a long time. I always gotten along with him. But he's sending rockets into cities and killing people, and I don't like it. I don't like what Putin is doing. Not even a little bit. He's killing people. And something happened to this guy, and I don't like it,” said the US president.
Trump also added that he is definitely considering imposing sanctions against Russia.
