Trump to Putin: “STOP!” After Deadly Kyiv Strikes

President Trump made an unusual post to Putin, calling out the Russian leader.

“Very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP!” he posted after Russia’s latest attack on Kyiv.

The strikes killed at least 12 and injured 90—Kyiv’s deadliest assault in nearly a year.

Trump added: “Let’s get the Peace Deal DONE!”

I find it curious what he decides to post. Why doesn’t he just call Putin? Or text him? Do they text?

But maybe it’s to get the world’s eyes on it?

Whatever the case, he knows what he’s doing.

AP News reports:

President Donald Trump on Thursday offered rare criticism of Vladimir Putin, urging the Russian leader to “STOP!” after a deadly barrage of attacks on Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital.

“I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying.” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. “Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!”

Russia struck Kyiv with an hourslong barrage of missiles and drones. At least 12 people were killed and 90 were injured in the deadliest assault on the city since last July.

Trump’s frustration is growing as a U.S.-led effort to get a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia has not made progress.

The comments about Putin came after Trump lashed out at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday and accused him of prolonging the “killing field” by refusing to surrender the Russia-occupied Crimean Peninsula as part of a possible deal. Russia illegally annexed that area in 2014.

With his assertion that Putin demonstrated “very bad timing” with the massive attack, Trump appeared to suggest that the Russian leader was doing himself no favors toward achieving the Kremlin’s demand that any peace agreement include Russia keeping control of Crimea as well as Ukrainian territory in the Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions it has seized since invading in February 2022.

It’s high time this war comes to an end.

And the real question is, how much of this war is real?

Do we really know what’s going on over there?

Ukraine “soldiers” have resorted to faking combat in order to appear “war torn” so the slush fund from the U.S. keeps churning money their way!

Maybe that was, as the note states, for a music video.

Okay, what about the ‘Ghost of Kyiv’?

They admitted that was fake.
