I don\u2019t know what the hell happened to Putin,\u201d Trump told reporters. \u201cWe\u2019re in the middle of talking and he\u2019s shooting rockets into Kyiv and other cities\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009I don\u2019t like it at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later in a Truth Social post, Trump repeated his criticism of Russia\u2019s leader and said if Putin attempted to conquer all of Ukraine, it would lead to \u201cthe downfall of Russia\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I\u2019m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. I\u2019ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that\u2019s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump also hit out at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. \u201cEverything out of his mouth causes problems, I don\u2019t like it, and it better stop,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>At least 12 people were killed and dozens more injured in Russia\u2019s attack on Sunday, which the Ukrainian air force said was the single-largest aerial assault of the war so far \u2014 with Moscow launching 367 missiles and suicide drones. It came after another large attack on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Zelenskyy said 30 cities and towns had been targeted in 12 regions. He urged western allies to step up their pressure on Moscow in response to the attack which he described as further evidence that Putin was not interested in peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPutin must be forced to think not about launching missiles, but about ending the war,\u201d Zelenskyy said. Each Russian air strike was \u201ca sufficient reason for new sanctions against Russia\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"n-content-image n-content-image--full\" data-component=\"image-set\"><picture><source media=\"(min-width: 700px)\"  width=\"2288\" height=\"1525\"><\/source><source media=\"(max-width: 490px)\"  width=\"1525\" height=\"1525\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"n-content-picture__caption o3-editorial-typography-caption\"><span>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said 30 cities and towns had been targeted in 12 regions<\/span><span> <!-- -->\u00a9 Sergei Supinsky\/AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Putin has rejected US and European calls for an immediate ceasefire. So far the only agreement Moscow has lived up to is the 1,000 Ukrainian prisoners of war exchanged over the weekend for 1,000 Russian POWs.<\/p>\n<p>The swap, agreed in Istanbul earlier this month when Ukraine and Russia held their first direct talks in three years, began on Friday and was conducted over the course of three days. Zelenskyy said Ukraine had returned 303 Ukrainian soldiers on Sunday in the final handover. <\/p>\n<p>While the exchange was welcomed by Kyiv and marked a rare moment of co-operation with Moscow, Ukrainian officials remain sceptical of its broader significance. <\/p>\n<p>Russian officials have in recent days suggested that they could again invade the Sumy and Kharkiv border regions in Ukraine\u2019s north-east, while Putin said his army was working to create a \u201cbuffer zone\u201d in that area.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian leader has also maintained his maximalist position in regards to peace talks, which Ukrainian officials say are a sign that he plans to continue fighting the largest war on European soil in nearly a century.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"n-content-image n-content-image--full\" data-component=\"image-set\"><picture><source media=\"(min-width: 700px)\"  width=\"2290\" height=\"1527\"><\/source><source media=\"(max-width: 490px)\"  width=\"1525\" height=\"1525\"><\/source><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/infundpros.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/https:\/\/d1e00ek4ebabms.cloudfront.net\/production\/f6b019b6-60b6-4ffa-bfcb-9ba2e7b79da5.jpg\" alt=\"Residential homes destroyed by a Russian strike in Korostyshiv, Zhytomyr region\" data-image-type=\"image\" width=\"2290\" height=\"1527\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"n-content-picture__caption o3-editorial-typography-caption\"><span>Residential homes destroyed by a Russian strike in Korostyshiv, Zhytomyr region<\/span><span> <!-- -->\u00a9 Evgeniy Maloletka\/AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A document drawn up by the Ukrainian president\u2019s office titled \u201cProposed next sanctions steps for the EU\u201d and seen by the Financial Times outlines dozens of entities and areas in Russia\u2019s energy and financial sectors and military industrial complex that Kyiv wants to see targeted by its European partners. <\/p>\n<p>Some Ukrainian officials and western analysts have warned that Russia may prepare a renewed large-scale aerial campaign, timed to coincide with a potential new ground offensive. <\/p>\n<p>A surge in Russian missile and drone attacks over the weekend could be the opening phase of that broader strategy, they said.<\/p>\n<p>Russia is now producing missiles and drones faster than it uses, stockpiling reserves and ratcheting up pressure on Ukraine\u2019s stretched defences.<\/p>\n<p>This uptick in Russian production means Ukraine will need further western support to sustain its defences \u2014 at a time when continued US backing is uncertain and European supplies unable to fully replace American weaponry, particularly air defences. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/01bc7e5a-f846-4833-b861-bbfc0029a0e9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stay informed with free updates Simply sign up to the War in Ukraine myFT Digest &#8212; delivered directly to your inbox.
