President Donald Trump has unleashed his harshest criticism yet of Vladimir Putin, branding the Russian leader “absolutely CRAZY” following a massive 367-projectile assault that deliberately targeted Ukrainian civilians during Kyiv Day celebrations. Trump’s unprecedented condemnation comes as Putin escalates his terror campaign to unprecedented levels.
The coordinated attack involving 298 drones and 69 missiles represents the largest single air raid in three years of warfare, specifically timed to maximize civilian trauma during Ukraine’s most beloved municipal holiday. At least 12 people died, including three children, as families celebrating their capital city were forced to flee underground for safety. The calculated cruelty has prompted Trump to predict Russia’s eventual “downfall” if Putin continues his expansion efforts.
Ukrainian President Zelensky has seized on international outrage to criticize what he terms American diplomatic “silence,” demanding that each terrorist strike automatically trigger new sanctions against Russia. The attack demonstrates Putin’s willingness to target civilian happiness and cultural traditions as weapons of war, marking a disturbing escalation in his psychological warfare against Ukrainian independence and morale.
