Former U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed strong disapproval of Russian President Vladimir Putin over the ongoing attacks on Ukraine. Speaking at a recent public event, Trump condemned Putin’s actions, calling them “a shame” and expressing personal disappointment.
“Putin is attacking Ukraine and killing people… I don’t like Putin,” Trump said. “I’ve known Putin for a long time. I don’t understand what’s happened to him now.”
Trump’s comments come in response to a renewed wave of missile attacks launched by Russia, which have targeted Ukrainian cities, resulting in civilian casualties and widespread damage.
“It’s a disgrace,” Trump added. “Bombing cities with rockets and killing innocent people — it’s tragic and unacceptable.”
This marks a notable shift in tone from the former president, who was often criticized for being lenient on Putin during his time in office. Trump’s latest remarks signal his firm opposition to the escalating violence in Eastern Europe.
