In a significant shift, former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin, warning that Moscow could soon be subjected to new sanctions following intensified attacks on Ukrainian civilian areas. Once vocal about his rapport with Putin, Trump now claims the Russian leader has failed to take meaningful steps toward ending the war. Posting on Truth Social, Trump condemned what he described as biased reporting by The New York Times, and defended his record on Ukraine, highlighting his administration’s provision of military aid compared to the Obama-era response. After meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Rome, Trump suggested that a potential peace deal is within reach, although disagreements, particularly regarding the status of Crimea, remain unresolved. Trump reiterated that the conflict would have been avoided had he been in office, and called for urgent efforts to bring an end to the ongoing violence.
