President Trump blows up Vladimir Putin on Thursday, urging the Russian president to “stop it!” After Moscow launched its most deadly attack on Ukraine in nearly a year.
“I’m not happy with the Russian strike in Kiev,” Trump said. I was furious at the social post of truth.
“Not necessary, very bad timing. Vladimir, stop! 5,000 soldiers are dying a week. Let’s close the peace deal!”
His rare criticism of Putin came shortly after Russia struck Kiev with an hour-consuming barrage of missiles and drones. He killed at least nine people and injured more than 70 people.
Ukrainian President Voldymi Zelensky branded the attack, which was branded as one of the deadliest “most outrageous” since last July.
He also appeared to take a swipe in the White House as the Trump administration continues to push for peace efforts to end the three-year war.
Trump on Wednesday questioned Kiev’s preparations to reach a peace deal despite Zelensky signing the Trump-promoted ceasefire deal over a month ago.
Meanwhile, the president insisted without proving that Moscow was ready to end the war.
This is what Russia and Ukraine each get from Trump’s “final offer” peace
What Russia gets
- Formal US recognition of Ukraine’s Crimea as Russian territory – a major departure from Washington’s longtime wells doctrine refuses to acknowledge that annexed territory belongs to seizing forces.
- The “effective” perception of Russian occupation of four eastern Ukraine regions acknowledges that the US is controlling the existing Moscow of Luhansk, Donetsk, Harson and Zapolizia, and is formally considering Ukrainian lands.
- The pledge that the United States will not support Ukraine becoming a member of NATO.
- It lifts sanctions to boost Russia’s economy, which has struggled throughout the war with Ukraine.
- Opportunities for more economic cooperation with the United States, particularly in the energy and industrial sectors.
What Ukraine gets
- Support from European military forces as a “robust security guarantee” after the ceasefire. The United States will not be involved in this measure.
- Russia returns just a small portion of the Kharkiv surveillance in Ukraine, currently occupied by Moscow.
- Navigation rights for the Dnieper River running along the front line.
- It is unclear where the funds will come from post-war reconstruction support.
“It’s been 44 days since Ukraine agreed to a full ceasefire and a halt of strikes. This was a proposal from the US,” Zelensky said in the X-Post.
“And 44 days in Russia continued to kill our people, circumventing severe pressure and accountability for their actions.”
