In a surprising turn, U.S. President Donald Trump publicly criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday, calling him “absolutely CRAZY” following a deadly overnight drone barrage on Ukraine that left at least 13 people dead. The sharp rebuke came despite Trump’s long-standing reputation for speaking positively about the Russian leader.
Taking to his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, “I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin… but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!” He warned that Putin’s ambition to seize all of Ukraine could spell the "downfall of Russia."
Speaking to reporters earlier, Trump expressed frustration
with Moscow's military aggression and the stalled peace talks with Kyiv. He
also confirmed he was "absolutely" considering tougher sanctions on
Russia in response to the escalating violence.
