Trump Claims Putin ’Gone Absolutely Crazy’ as Russia Escalates Ukraine Conflict

Former U.S. President Donald TRUMP declared Vladimir Putin has "gone absolutely crazy" after Russia violated a proposed ceasefire with a massive overnight drone and missile attack on Kyiv. The assault, reportedly involving 250 drones and 14 ballistic missiles, followed Trump’s public suggestion for a 30-day pause in hostilities.

Trump, who previously boasted of his "strong and beautiful relationship" with the Russian leader, now accuses Putin of having "completely lost his mind." The remarks came alongside criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whom Trump blamed for exacerbating the war through public statements, and current U.S. President Joe Biden for policies that "fueled the disaster."

Ukrainian defenses intercepted nearly 100 drones NEAR Moscow according to officials, as the conflict shows no signs of abating. Meanwhile, reports indicate the Kremlin continues to obscure its military expenditures through secret budget allocations.
