Didn’t Ukraine just try to assassinate him?

Trump — ‘Something has happened to Putin. He has gone absolutely cr*zy.’

Kremlin punches back at Trump.

Russia has accused Donald Trump of falling victim to ’emotional overload’ at a ‘crucial moment’ after the US President labelled Vladimir Putin ‘absolutely cr*zy’ for his brutal missile attacks on Ukraine.

When asked about Trump’s explosive remarks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov hit back but also thanked the President for helping to enable ceasefire talks.

‘We are really grateful to the Americans and to President Trump personally for their assistance in organising and launching this negotiation process,’ he said.

‘Of course, at the same time, this is a very crucial moment, which is associated, of course, with the emotional overload of everyone absolutely and with emotional reactions,’ he then added.

The reaction came following one of Moscow’s biggest aerial attacks on Ukraine since the war began, with Russian forces bombarding civilian areas across the country, forcing NATO to scramble warplanes from Poland for the second night in a row.

The massive overnight attack saw Russia launch 355 drones – a new record high – as well as nine cruise missiles, according to the Ukrainian air force. Air raid alerts blared for six hours straight in Kyiv.

Making no mention of the deadly attacks staged just hours earlier, Peskov once again made what appears to be an empty promise that Moscow is working towards peace.

He insisted that officials are working on a proposal but have not yet submitted it. ‘Work is continuing. This is a serious draft, a draft of a serious document that demands careful checks and preparation,’ he claimed.

In a phone call with Trump last week, Putin said Russia and Ukraine would work on a memorandum relating to a peace accord, prompting new accusations from Kyiv and Western allies that Moscow was stalling and had no serious interest in peace.
