US EditionTrump Says Putin 'Playing with Fire' in New Jab at Russian Leader
- President Donald Trump sharply criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday and Tuesday amid Russia’s intensified missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv and Sumy region.
- The criticism follows Russia’s launch of some of its biggest aerial attacks since early 2022, involving over 360 drones and missiles and territorial gains such as capturing four villages in northeastern Ukraine’s Sumy region.
- Russian advances extend across multiple fronts with degraded Ukrainian air defenses, limited missile stocks, preparation for new offensives, and stalled ceasefire talks as Ukraine and European allies demand immediate truce.
- Trump stated, “Putin has gone absolutely CRAZY!” and warned that Putin is “playing with fire,” while also noting Russia fires rockets “into Kyiv and other cities” during ongoing U.S.-Russia talks and possible sanctions.
- The situation suggests heightened tensions and risk of further conflict escalation despite prisoner exchange talks and sanctions discussions, reflecting deep concern over Russia’s persistence and Ukraine’s battlefield setbacks.
