US President Donald Trump Vladimir Putin has warned that he was “playing with fire” after Russia fired some of its largest drones and a missile on Ukraine since it began to invade it widely in early 2022.

“What Vladimir Putin does not realize is that if it is not for me, it will happen many of the really bad things for Russia, and I mean very bad,” Trump said in a position on the social truth. “He plays with fire!”

Trump’s latest posts reveal the increasing frustration in his administration, with the definition of Putin apparently on war. The Russian leader did not make any concessions and did not show any interest in the ceasefire demanded by Ukraine and its Western allies.

“president Putin Tami Bruce, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told reporters on Tuesday that the feeling of President Trump’s anger is the nature of what is being chased.

Bruce hinted that Trump may be about to take action against Russia. “As we saw today with Putin.

Trump said on Sunday he “will be considered” new penalties for Moscow. He was speaking before Russia fired a huge barrage of drones against Ukraine. The authorities in Kiev said that more than 350 drones and cruise series were launched against the country.

“He kills many people,” Trump said of Putin on Sunday. “I don’t know what is wrong with him. What happened to him against hell?”

Trump and Putin spoke on the phone on May 19, when the US President said then that Russia and Ukraine “will immediately start negotiations towards a ceasefire, and most importantly, the end of the war!”

But nothing happened since then, to thwart Washington. Trump asked Putin to submit a term sheet that defines Russia’s ceasefire requirements, but no document has yet been documented.

Meanwhile, the Penal Code co -authored by Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican in South Carolina, among the most prominent Trump legislative allies, still collects support in the upper room. In a Wall Street Journal, Graham said he coordinated his legislative efforts with the White House.

Graham said that the procedure will put Russia on a “commercial island, and slap with 500 percent on any country that buys energy products in Moscow.” “If China or India stops buying cheap oil, the Putin’s war machine will stop,” adding that the bill had 82 shepherds.

Chuck Grassley, Republican Senator from Iowa, said in A. After x He believed that Trump was honest when he thought his friendship with Putin would end the war. “Now it’s time for strong penalties, Putin knows” a game “.

Last week was asked in the Senate whether he would support the draft law of Graham’s sanctions, and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said if it was clear that “the Russians are not interested in a peace deal and they want to continue to fight the war, then it may reach that point.”
