He wrote about this on his page on the social network X.
Trump noted that, in his opinion, the recent attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine by Russian forces raise doubts about Putin’s sincerity in wanting to end the war.
"There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities, and towns over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along," he suggested.
According to Trump, if that's the case, "he must be dealt with differently, through 'banking' or 'secondary sanctions.'"
"Too many people are dying," the American president emphasized.
- On Saturday, April 26, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Vatican for the first time since their dispute at the White House at the end of February.
