Trump urges Putin to 'STOP!' after deadly attack on Kyiv

President Donald Trump has offered rare criticism of Vladimir Putin, urging the Russian president to “STOP!” after a deadly barrage of attacks on Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital. Trump said in a social media post on Thursday that “I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying.” Trump also said, “Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!” Trump’s criticism of Putin is notable because Trump has repeatedly said Russia, the aggressor in the conflict, is more willing than Ukraine to get a deal done.
