President Donald Trump publicly condemned the latest Russian missile and drone attack against Kiev, calling it "unnecessary and poorly timed." In a message posted on his platform Truth Social, Trump wrote:

"I am not happy with the Russian attacks on Kiev. Unnecessary and at a bad time. Vladimir, STOP!".

He continued with a call for diplomacy:

"Every week, 5,000 soldiers die. Let's get a peace agreement!".

The attack on Thursday in the capital of Ukraine was one of the most intense in recent months, leaving 12 dead and 90 injured, according to Ukrainian sources. Residential and commercial buildings suffered severe damage in several districts. The Russian Ministry of Defense has denied attacking civilians.

Trump's statement marks another sharp turn in his approach to the war. Just a day earlier, he had publicly reprimanded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for blocking progress toward peace, citing Zelensky's refusal to recognize Crimea as Russian territory, a key point in the ongoing negotiations.

Since returning to power in January, Trump has positioned himself as a possible peacemaker, frequently criticizing both Moscow and Kiev. U.S. media sources suggest that the White House may be pressuring Ukraine to accept certain territorial concessions, including Crimea, as part of a broader peace framework.

As tensions rise, the world watches what comes next.
