Trump warns of Putin's madness: drone attacks on Ukraine outraged!

Ukraine, Land - President Donald Trump has once again practiced sharp criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin. On the Truth Social platform, he warned that Russia had experienced "many really bad things" without his presidency. Trump described Putin's aggressive air raids on Ukraine as "absolutely crazy" and emphasized that the rockets and drones are shot for Ukrainian cities for no reason, with innocent civilians to death. This is not only unnecessary, but also a massive violation of human rights that cannot remain unpunished. In this context, Trump threatened with new sanctions against Russia and made it clear that he distanced himself from the supporting policy of his predecessor Joe Biden, while he presented himself as a mediator for a peace solution. The Kremlin reacted to Trump's accusations and spoke of an "overreaction" and "emotional overload" of his counterpart, as [OE24] reported.

Trump not only criticizes Putin, but also of the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj. He accuses Selenskyj of contributing too little to the end of the war and is concerned about the effects of the ongoing fighting. Federal Foreign Minister Johann WadePhul has accused Putin of violating human rights and announced a "clear reaction of the West". In the nights on Saturday and Sunday, Russian armed forces bombed Ukraine with rockets and hundreds of drones, which led to more than twelve dead and numerous injuries. Selenskyj declared the attacks as terror and demanded more pressure on Russia.

The escalation of the conflict

In the context of the ongoing attacks on Ukraine, Ukrainian military observers reported more than 100 Russian fight drones in the air. The Ukrainian Air Force warned of new attacks with a marching aircraft. Tragically, the ongoing conflict could lead Putin to strive to bring the entire Ukraine under control, which Trump warned as the possible demise of Russia. The US special representative Keith Kellogg called for an immediate ceasefire and condemned the attacks on civilians. According to [Zeit.de] WadePhul also accuses that Putin does not want peace and prepares further sanctions in the European framework.

Despite the serious allegations, there are also voices of hope for discussions. Trump praises the talks between the USA and Russia in Saudi Arabia as "very good", which indicates a possible will for diplomacy. However, the political and cultural sovereignty of Ukraine remains a controversial topic for Russian leadership. Diplomatic negotiations, especially with regard to the humanitarian questions, have so far proven to be difficult because there are fundamental differences regarding security guarantees. [ZDF.de] reports that both the Ukrainian and the Russian side has divided without a peace agreement since the failed negotiations of Istanbul in spring 2022, and thus the chances of setting up the conflict seem rather low.
