Russia-Ukraine War: US President Donald Trump expressed extra frustration with Russia and wondered President Vladimir Putin’s willingness to forestall the warfare after contemporary airstrikes on Ukraine. He additionally threatened to deal “differently” with Moscow via “banking” and “secondary” sanctions. Trump’s remarks got here after he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy within the Vatican at the sidelines of Pope Francis’ funeral on Saturday.
The newest assembly between the 2 leaders used to be the primary since their assembly within the White House, when Zelenskyy confronted warmth from Trump and Vice President JD Vance over what they noticed as a loss of gratitude for the strengthen from Washington. In a put up shared on his social media platform, Truth Social, as he used to be heading again to Washington from Rome, the United States President hinted at enforcing sanctions in opposition to Moscow after Russia’s newest missile assault on Ukraine and wondered whether or not Putin desires to forestall the warfare.
After Trump’s criticisism of Zelenskyy over his contemporary remarks on Crimea, calling them “harmful to peace negotiations” with Russia, he had highlighted that Ukraine has upheld an entire ceasefire for 44 days following an offer from Washington, whilst Moscow persisted its assaults, launching just about 70 missiles and round 150 assault drones right through that point. Donald Trump even criticised former US President Barack Obama and instructed that he “made it possible for Russia to steal Crimea from Ukraine without even a shot being fired.”
In a put up shared on Truth Social on Saturday, Trump shared, “No matter what deal I make with respect to Russia/Ukraine, no matter how good it is, even if it’s the greatest deal ever made, The Failing New York Times will speak BADLY of it. Liddle’ Peter Baker, the very biased and untalented writer for The Times, followed his Editor’s demands and wrote that Ukraine should get back territory, including, I suppose, Crimea, and other ridiculous requests, in order to stop the killing that is worse than anything since World War II. Why doesn’t this lightweight reporter say that it was Obama who made it possible for Russia to steal Crimea from Ukraine without even a shot being fired. It was also Liddle’ Peter who wrote an absolutely fawning, yet terribly written Biography, on Obama. It was a JOKE! Did Baker ever criticize the Obama Crimea Giveaway? NO, not once, only TRUMP, and I’ve had nothing to do with this stupid war, other than early on, when I gave Ukraine Javelins, and Obama gave them sheets.”
“This is Sleepy Joe Biden’s War, not mine. It was a loser from day one, and should have never happened, and wouldn’t have happened if I were President at the time. I’m just trying to clean up the mess that was left to me by Obama and Biden, and what a mess it is. With all of that being said, there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through “Banking” or “Secondary Sanctions?” Too many people are dying,” he added.
Trump and Zelenskyy spoke forward of the funeral of Pope Francis. Describing his assembly with Trump as “good,” Zelenskyy stated that talks all in favour of “full and unconditional ceasefire.” He expressed hope to peer effects on the entirety they mentioned.
In a put up on X, Zelenskyy stated, “Good meeting. We discussed a lot one-on-one. Hoping for results on everything we covered. Protecting lives of our people. Full and unconditional ceasefire. Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out. Very symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results. Thank you POTUS.”
Trump and Zelenskyy had a “very productive” assembly in Rome, a White House professional stated – their first assembly since a hectic assembly within the White House in February this yr.
