Trump's comments came amid his visible frustration with Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin and the state of negotiations aimed at achieving a ceasefire in Ukraine.
"I am not happy with what Putin is doing. He is killing a lot of people and I don't know what the hell happened to Putin. I've known him for a long time - always got along with him - but he's sending missiles at cities and killing people and I don't like that at all," Trump said.

On the night of May 25, the Russian army shelled Ukrainian cities, including the capital Kyiv, launching 367 drones and dozens of missiles at Ukraine. It was the largest air attack in the history of the war, killing at least 12 people and injuring dozens. On the night of May 26, Ukraine was again under attack by Russia.
Earlier, UNN wrote that German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said that the West should respond with additional sanctions to the latest Russian attacks. He hopes this will force Putin to negotiate.
