LOS ANGELES, May 26 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday made harsh remarks about both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“I’m not happy with what V. Putin is doing,” Trump told reporters before flying from Morristown, N.J., to Washington. “I don’t know what the hell happened to V. Putin.”
“I’ve known him for a long time, I’ve always gotten along with him, but he’s sending missiles to cities and killing people, and I don’t like that at all. Fine. We’re talking, and he’s shooting missiles at Kyiv and other cities. I don’t like that at all,” he added.
D. Trump made the comments after Russia and Ukraine launched massive missile and drone strikes against each other on Sunday.
Later on Sunday evening, D. Trump wrote on the social network Truth Social that V. Putin “has completely lost his mind!”
In response to statements made by V. Zelensky earlier on Sunday criticizing the US silence on the latest Russian attacks, D. Trump said that V. Zelensky “is not doing his country any good by speaking the way he does.”
“Everything he says is problematic, I don’t like it, and it better stop,” D. Trump said about V. Zelensky. According to him, the Ukrainian side should not blame him, since “this is a war of V. Zelensky, V. Putin and J. Biden, not D. Trump.” –0–
