Trump: “Vladimir, Stop! 5,000 soldiers a week are dying!"

President Trump has condemned the recent attack from Russia into Ukraine, which killed at least 12 people and injured dozens. The President wrote 'the attacks were not necessary and very badly timed.'

No kidding.

“Vladimir, Stop! 5,000 soldiers a week are dying,” the post said.

In Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged allies to put Russia under intense pressure to halt the war.

President Trump remains optimistic a peace deal can be salvaged.

“This next few days is going to be very important. Meetings are taking place right now,” Trump said. “I think we’re going to make a deal … I think we’re getting very close.”

Never in American history except perhaps during the 1980's when President Reagan asked Russia to "tear down it's walls." has a President of America called the Russian President by first name.

And even then, President Reagan used "Mr. Gorbachev."

And while President Trump insists Ukraine has to give up territory to obtain a peace deal, the same has not been said for Russia. Not including Crimea, which Ukraine continues to contest ownership.

Russia used 11 ballistic missiles, and 55 cruise missiles, and 4 types of self-guided bombs during the last assault. About 145 Iranian-designed drones were launched from Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod, and other areas in Russia.

The Ukrainian army said seven of the ballistic missiles, 37 of the cruise missiles, all guided bombs and 64 drones were intercepted and 68 drone simulators fell without causing any damage.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence said: “The strike objectives were achieved. All objects were hit.”

The ministry said Russian military operations on the front lines of the war, including in eastern Ukraine, killed hundreds of Ukrainian service members and destroyed dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles in the past day.

Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also accused the Ukrainian president of “wrecking” diplomacy aimed at reaching a peace deal amid conversations over the potential recognition of Russia’
