President Donald Trump has accused Vladimir Putin of talking crap about Ukraine.
He recently revealed that he’ll proceed with his decision to send Kyiv more weapons to defend itself.
Speaking during a televised cabinet meeting at the White House, Trump stated that he has been very unhappy with Putin since their phone call on the Ukraine peace deal yielded no positive result last week.
According to him, he is currently giving serious consideration to the bill proposed by the Senate for further sanctions on Russia because Putin has been giving everyone the run around amid the war.
“We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth.
He’s very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless,” he said.
Trump’s criticism of Putin is coming one day after he vowed to send more weapons to Ukraine, a reversal of Washington’s announcement last week that it would halt some arms shipments.
The American president disclosed that Putin is not treating human beings right at all, stressing that the bloodshed has been excessive in Ukraine.
He further urged Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth to push defense contractors to boost the production of armaments.
“Putin is not treating human beings right. He’s killing too many people. So we’re sending some defensive weapons and I’ve approved that.
We have to step them up, Pete, and let them make it at a much higher rate,” Trump said.
Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Ukraine will increase talks with the United States on air defense.
“We now have the necessary political statements and decisions, and they must be implemented as soon as possible to protect our people,” he added.
