Putin Is “Testing the Waters” in Trump Relationship

  • President Donald Trump criticized Vladimir Putin as "absolutely crazy" for launching a large missile and drone attack on Ukrainian civilians in May 2025.
  • The Kremlin dismissed Trump's remarks as emotional and planned to present a "peace memorandum" with terms at an upcoming meeting with Ukraine amid ongoing bombardment.
  • The assault consisted of a massive strike involving more than 1,300 unmanned aerial vehicles and 90 missiles, resulting in the deaths of no fewer than 30 civilians and injuring over 160, representing the most extensive attack launched by Putin during the two-year war stalemate.
  • Trump said he would assess Putin's seriousness about peace in "about two weeks" before deciding on sanctions including a 500% tariff on buyers of Russian energy.
  • The counterstrike demonstrated Ukraine's capability by destroying up to 40 Russian strategic bombers deep in Russia, signaling a potential shift in the war's strategic balance despite escalating dangers.
