US President Donald Trump said Vladimir Putin "has gone absolutely crazy!" following a series of deadly attacks, and warned that -- if he attempts to conquer all of Ukraine -- it will lead to Russia's "downfall."
Ukrainian officials said on May 26 that Russia had launched some 355 drones at Ukraine overnight -- a record number in more than three years of war -- along with nine cruise missiles.
The attack, the third consecutive night Russia had fired a major salvo at Ukraine, hit several locations, including residential buildings and industrial facilities, officials said.
"Ive always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him," Trump said in his harshest public comments ever regarding the Kremlin leader. "He has gone absolutely CRAZY!"
"He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and Im not just talking about soldiers,"Trump wroteon his social media platform late on May 25. "Missiles and drones are being shot into cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. Ive always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe thats proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!"
