World Peace Recedes as Trump Calls Putin “Crazy” Over Ukraine Strikes

U.S. President Donald Trump has called Russian President Vladimir Putin “absolutely CRAZY” for launching the biggest air attack yet on Ukraine.

Trump made the comment on Truth Social, his personal media platform.

Russia fired at least 367 drones and missiles at Ukraine overnight. Ukrainian officials say 12 people, including three children, died in the northern Zhytomyr region. It was the deadliest airstrike of the war in terms of weapon count.

Putin’s forces hit targets in five regions of Ukraine for the third night in a row. People spent hours listening to buzzing drones and explosions from Ukraine’s air defenses.

Trump Suggests More Sanctions and Slams Zelenskiy’s Speech

At Morristown Airport in New Jersey, Trump told reporters, “I don’t know what’s wrong with him. What the hell happened to him? Right? He’s killing a lot of people. I’m not happy about that.”

Trump said he was considering new sanctions on Moscow in response to the attacks. He said, “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!”

However, Trump also turned his criticism toward Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. He posted, “Zelenskiy is doing his Country no favours by talking the way he does. Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don’t like it, and it better stop.”

Kremlin Responds to Trump’s Comments

When asked about Trump calling Putin “crazy,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Trump and others might be reacting with strong emotion. He added that everyone is under emotional strain because of the situation.

Peskov said, “This is a very crucial moment, which is associated, of course, with the emotional overload of everyone absolutely and with emotional reactions.”

Despite these words, the Kremlin defended the attacks on Ukraine. Russian officials said they were targeting military locations in response to Ukrainian strikes on Russian civilian areas.

President Zelenskiy did not directly reply to Trump. However, on X (formerly Twitter), he said the world is spending more time talking to Putin than applying real pressure on him.

Zelenskiy insisted that Russia will only respond to force, not words. He repeated his call for tougher sanctions and more help from global leaders.

Fighting Continues in Ukraine as Peace Talks Stall

Russia continues its attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. In Odesa, a 14-year-old boy was injured. Residential buildings and factories were damaged in the west of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed the scale of the latest assault. Officials said Russia launched 355 drones and nine cruise missiles in a single night. This was the largest drone assault since the war began.

The Kremlin continues to describe its actions as a “special military operation.” Russian leaders say they are defending the country from NATO threats. Ukraine and its allies say it is an unprovoked war of aggression.

Trump has pushed both sides to end the war. But as Russia advances in eastern Ukraine, and both countries use swarms of drones and missiles, peace remains far off.
