U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized Vladimir Putin, saying the Russian leader has been “talking a lot of nonsense” — a rare sharp rebuke amid ongoing global tensions.
He said in a statement to reporters on Tuesday after a cabinet meeting at the White House.
Trump said that the United States constantly receives “a lot of nonsense” from Putin.
He added that Putin acts “very nice” all the time, but in the end, it all turns out to be nonsense.
“I can tell you this now because he’s killing a lot of people, and a lot of them are his soldiers. It’s his soldiers and their soldiers, and now it’s up to 7,000 a week, and I’m unhappy with Putin,” the American president noted.
In addition, he said he is “very seriously” considering imposing sanctions against Russia.
Trump also confirmed his approval of the decision to send defensive weapons to Ukraine.
He added that he is doing this, in particular, because Putin has the wrong attitude towards human lives — “he kills too many people.”
When asked by a journalist who caused the pause in the supply of weapons to Ukraine, Trump replied, “I don’t know, you tell me.
We will remind you, the US decided to resume military assistance to Ukraine, in particular, to provide a new batch of defensive weapons.
As reported, some of the US military aid to Ukraine, which was unexpectedly stopped earlier this month, could be unblocked soon. According to sources familiar with the situation, the process could get underway after a series of diplomatic meetings to be held in Italy and Ukraine.
In addition, US President Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the actions of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in connection with the ongoing war in Ukraine. According to Trump, Moscow is demonstrating an unwillingness to make concessions, which is causing concern in Washington.
