President Donald Trump said he doesn’t know “what the hell happened” to Russian President Vladimir Putin, as Russia launched its largest aerial attack against Ukraine overnight, and that he is “not happy with what Putin is doing.”
President Donald Trump said Sunday he doesn’t know “what the hell happened” to Russian President Vladimir Putin and that he is “not happy with what Putin is doing” after Moscow launched its largest aerial attack of its three-year war on Ukraine overnight. “I’m not happy with what Putin is doing. He’s killing a lot of people, and I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin. I’ve known him a long time. Always gotten along with him, but he’s sending rockets into cities and killing people, and I don’t like it at all,” Trump told reporters in New Jersey on his way back to Washington, D.C Sunday night. “We’re in the middle of talking, and he’s shooting rockets into Kyiv and other cities.” Trump said he is “very surprised” about what transpired, though just a week ago, Russia launched its largest drone attack against Ukraine — a day before Putin and Trump spoke on the phone. “I don’t like what Putin is doing, not even a little bit. He’s killing people. And something happened to this guy, and I don’t like it,” Trump added Sunday. Trump said Sunday he’s “absolutely” considering additional sanctions against Russia, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for. Trump, who has often touted his good relationship with Putin, spoke with the Russian leader on Monday in an attempt to negotiate a 30-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
