Trump says he's "not happy" with Russian strikes on Kyiv: "Vladimir, STOP!"

President Trump posted on social media Thursday morning to express he's "not happy" with the Russian strikes on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, calling the strikes "very bad timing" amid peace negotiations and telling Russian President Vladimir Putin to "STOP!"

Overnight, Russia attacked Kyiv with an hourslong barrage of missiles and drones, killing at least eight people and injuring over 70 in likely the deadliest assault on Ukraine's capital since July. The strikes came as peace talks have appeared to stall. 

"I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing," Mr. Trump wrote on his social media site Truth Social. "Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!"
