"On Monday, Putin claimed that Ukraine had targeted his residence in the Novgorod region of Russia with drones a claim that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vehemently denied. This alleged residence strike' story is a complete fabrication intended to justify additional attacks against Ukraine, including Kyiv, as well as Russia's own refusal to take necessary steps to end the war, wrote Zelensky on his social media accounts. Typical Russian lies."
"Despite the lack of evidence, Trump made comments suggesting he found Putin's claims credible, saying he was very angry about it. The president also drew criticism and mockery for claiming this week that Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. Throughout his political career, Trump has offered numerous public compliments for Putin, with a notably more fractious relationship with Zelensky. As one example, when Putin met with Trump in Alaska, the administration literally rolled out the red carpet for the Russian,"
President Donald Trump characterized Russian President Vladimir Putin as a dictator whose lies and hatred block a peace deal in Ukraine. Putin alleged that Ukraine targeted his Novgorod residence with drones, a claim Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denied as a fabrication meant to justify further attacks and Russia's refusal to pursue peace. Despite limited evidence, Trump earlier suggested he found Putin's claims credible and said he was very angry, while also asserting that Russia wants Ukraine to succeed, prompting criticism. Trump's sharper tone toward Putin departs from his customary compliments and contrasts with a more fractious relationship with Zelensky.
