Ukraine suffers from the heaviest attack as Trump criticizes Putin

President Voludmir Zelinski says that Ukraine was exposed to the largest air attack ever from Russia, after 728 drones and 13 cruise or ballistic missiles hit cities throughout the country in multiple waves.

Zelensky condemned the “Leader attack,” adding: “It is precisely about at a time when a lot of efforts have been made to achieve peace and create a ceasefire, however, Russia not only continues to reject them.”

The strike came overnight after President Donald Trump said that the United States would send more weapons to Kiev – a reflection of the suspension last week that the American media said that Trump did not know.

On Tuesday, the American leader expressed his increasing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We get a lot of nonsense that Putin gave, if you want to know the truth,” Trump told reporters. “It is very nice for us all the time, but it turns out that it does not make sense.”

“Moscow is very calm about this. Trump’s way of talking is generally completely harsh, the phrases he uses.”

The two leaders were in regular contact, but this has so far failed to translate into concrete steps towards a ceasefire in Ukraine – which Trump once said he would be able to achieve in one day.

Last week, after a phone call to the Russian President, Trump said he was “very happy.”

“He wants to go along the way, just keeps killing people, he is not good,” Trump said of Putin.

Criticism came even when the Trump administration announced the suspension of military aid to Ukraine, according to what was reported by US Defense Secretary Beit Higseth and Albridge Colby, the Undersecretary of Politics.

The journalists asked her on Tuesday who made the decision, Trump – sitting next to Higseth – “I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me?”

The reflection of the decision may now mean that 10 Patriot missiles may be sent to Ukraine, according to OFLET OFLET.

KYIV depends on provinces to try to face missile attacks and drones in Russia, which are still growing in intensity and repetition.

On Tuesday, Trump also said he was “looking into” a draft law for sanctions by Republican Senator Lindsay Graham, who will witness 500 % of the customs tariff imposed on countries that are trading with Russia.

Trump has threatened sanctions on Russia since he took office in January, but has so far failed to impose any of them. In June, he mentioned that he referred to the sanctions “cost a lot of money” and indicated that he was waiting to find out whether a deal between Russia and Ukraine would be signed instead.

However, the US president said last week that he and Putin discussed the sanctions “a lot” and added: “He realizes that he might be coming.”

Although the east of the country and KYIV were shot regularly, no angle from Ukraine was spared due to Russian strikes.

Lutsk – which is located 90 km (56 miles) from the Polish border, suffered a transit center for military and humanitarian assistance – from the overnight attack on Tuesday.

The explosions were also reported in the western cities of Falfin and Ruvin.

For their part, the Russian authorities said that the Ukrainian drone attack on the border area in Corsak killed three people and wounded seven others on Tuesday.

Two rounds of ceasefire talks took place between Russia and Ukraine earlier this year, but no other meetings have been identified yet – and it does not seem that Moscow or Kiev is optimistic that diplomacy will resolve the conflict, which was raised by Russia’s full invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Meanwhile, the Russian summer attack in eastern Ukraine grinds.

“We are moving forward,” Peskov said on Wednesday. “Every new day, the Ukrainians must accept the new facts.”
