  • Trump says there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns

Russian President Vladimir Putin should not be bombing civilian areas in Ukraine, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday, adding that secondary sanctions on Russia might be necessary in response.

"There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war," Trump posted on the Truth Social platform.

"He's just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through 'Banking' or 'Secondary Sanctions?' Too many people are dying!!!"
