President Trump, in his latest post on Truth Social, has called Russian President Vladimir Putin “Crazy.” Trump, in a post on Truth Social, wrote, “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 added, “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.” President Trump’s comments come as Russia has launched its most significant strikes against Ukraine in three years.

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,” Trump posted on Truth Social. Hours earlier, Trump had told reporters: “I’m not happy with what Putin is doing. He’s killing a lot of people, and I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin.” Moscow launched overnight attacks on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Ukraine, killing at least 29 people over three days and injuring dozens more, according to officials. The bombardment from Saturday into Sunday saw more drones and missiles launched at Ukraine than in any other single assault in three years. Trump’s intervention, coming at a crucial moment in Moscow’s war, will be viewed with relief in the West as a signal that the White House has grown frustrated with Putin’s refusal to accept a proposed 30-day ceasefire in the conflict. The Kremlin on Monday sought to downplay the significance of the remarks, categorizing them as an “emotional reaction.” A woman stands with her belongings, outside her house in Markhalivka, in the Kyiv region of Ukraine, that was destroyed in a Russian strike on Sunday. “This is a very important moment, which is associated with the emotional overload of absolutely everyone and with emotional reactions,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Monday.

The US president said on Truth Social on Sunday: “Something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely crazy. He is needlessly killing a lot of people.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Trump’s comment was a “very important moment… connected to an emotional overload of everyone involved” but added the Russian president was taking decisions “necessary for the security” of Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said “only a sense of total impunity” could allow Russia to “carry out such strikes and continue increasing their scale”. At least 13 people were killed and dozens injured in Ukraine in the night between Saturday and Sunday after Russia fired 367 drones and missiles in what was the largest combined aerial attack since Russia’s full-scale invasion of February 2022. Then, between Sunday evening and Monday morning, Russia launched 355 drones and nine cruise missiles against Ukraine, according to Kyiv’s air force. The Ukrainian air force said it was the largest attack yet conducted with drones alone.
