US President Donald Trump Thursday responded to the overnight Russian attacks on Ukraine’s Kyiv, saying he is “not happy,” and asked President Vladimir Putin to ‘stop’.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP!”
Trump added that 5,000 soldiers are dying every week and urged Putin to get the Ukraine peace deal done.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine has done as much as possible to progress in talks with the US by signing a memorandum on minerals, after removing provisions that would contradict its constitution.
He says Ukraine does not “see strong pressure on Russia now” nor new sanctions against Moscow, despite its unwillingness to progress the talks.
“We believe that with greater pressure on the Russian Federation, we will be able to bring our sides closer,” he says.
