U.S. President Donald Trump strongly criticised Ukraine following a wave of Russian attacks, blaming Kyiv’s recent drone strikes on Russian nuclear-capable airbases for escalating the conflict. He stated that President Volodymyr Zelensky gave Vladimir Putin “a reason to bomb Ukraine,” expressing clear disapproval of Ukraine's military strategy. Trump said he "didn’t like" the escalation and warned that the strikes could justify a harsher Russian response. Ukrainian forces had targeted several Russian airfields last week, actions Trump suggested triggered the intensified assault.
