Donald Trump Demands Putin Halt Military Action in Kyiv Following Deadly Russia Strikes

ai generated text

Russia launched its largest attack on Kyiv this year, involving 70 missiles and 145 drones, resulting in at least 12 deaths and 90 injuries, prompting Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to cut short a trip abroad. The international response included condemnation from leaders like US President Donald Trump, who called on President Putin to stop the attacks, while Zelenskyy urged allies to increase pressure on Russia amid stalled ceasefire talks.

1. The real obstacle is not Ukraine but Russia, whose war aims have not changed.

1. The only thing to do is for President Putin to finally stop lying.
Russian Defense Ministry
1. Overnight, the Russian armed forces carried out a massive strike with long-range air, land and sea-based weapons, and drones, on Ukraine's aviation, aerospace, machine-building and armoured vehicle industries.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy
Ukraine Government
1. The fact that Ukraine is ready to sit down at a negotiating table after (a) full ceasefire with terrorists… is a big compromise.
2. We believe that if more pressure is applied to Russia, we'll be able to make our positions closer.
3. It has been 44 days since Ukraine agreed to a full ceasefire and a halt to strikes. This was a proposal from the United States. And it has been 44 days of Russia continuing to kill our people and evading tough pressure and accountability for its actions.

1. We are currently clearing the rubble manually, we are not using any equipment because there may still be people under the rubble.
Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!
2. We're putting a lot of pressure on Russia, and Russia knows that, and some people that are close to it know or he wouldn't be talking right now.
3. Stopping the war, stopping taking the whole country. Pretty big concession.

1. The terms that the Trump administration is pushing to settle this conflict run completely counter to European interests.

1. Putin is banking on the US letting Russia off the hook despite Russia's own precarious position.
