The Kremlin said US President Donald Trump may be experiencing “emotional overload” after he called Russian President Vladimir Putin “absolutely crazy” following Russia’s biggest airstrike on Ukraine over the weekend.
Trump said Putin had “gone absolutely CRAZY” by unleashing the largest aerial attack of the war on Ukraine and said he was weighing new sanctions on Moscow, though he also scolded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
“We are really grateful to the Americans and to President Trump personally for their assistance in organising and launching this negotiation process,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said when asked about the Trump remarks about Putin.
“Of course, at the same time, this is a very crucial moment, which is associated, of course, with the emotional overload of everyone absolutely and with emotional reactions.”
Ukraine’s air force said over 360 air attack vehicles were used in the latest strike, including nine cruise missiles and 335 attack drones.
President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the assault, calling it proof that Moscow was misleading Donald Trump after his recent phone call with Putin, during which Russia claimed it was open to real peace talks.
“Over 900 attack drones launched against Ukraine in just three days, along with ballistic and cruise missiles. There is no military logic in this, but it is a clear political choice of Russia – the choice to keep waging war,” Zelensky said in a statement.
