[Trump: Negotiations Were Still Ongoing When Russia Chose to Launch a Large-Scale Missile Strike on Kyiv]
On May 30, Trump told reporters at the White House that Putin was stubborn. He had the same opinion about Zelenskyy. Trump also said he was surprised by Russia's actions. This refers to last weekend when Moscow and Kyiv were still in the process of negotiations, the Kremlin launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine.
"I saw something that really surprised me: during what I thought was nearly concluded negotiations, they attacked cities like Kyiv with missiles. We were supposed to solve problems, and then suddenly the missile attacks began... I am very disappointed," Trump said. He was also asked whether "Putin is a good person or a bad person," but he avoided answering.
On May 15, 24, and 25, Russian forces launched large-scale attacks on Ukrainian territory using various weapons. Initially, Trump did not comment on Russia's attacks. Later, he stated on Truth Social: "He (Putin) has issues. He’s completely insane!" He was referring to the previous night's attack by Russia. He also indicated that the United States would undoubtedly consider the possibility of imposing sanctions on Russia. Since then, Trump has criticized Putin for delaying peace talks with Ukraine and threatened that "very bad things" would happen to Russia.
