Russia has stepped up its bombardment of Ukraine in recent weeks<\/a>, despite a successful prisoner swap conducted late last week.<\/p>\n

Trump, who has previously been an open admirer of Putin, has become more critical of the Russian president amid the drone and missile attacks, calling him \u201cCRAZY\u201d and opining that he is \u201cplaying with fire.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

When asked about his decision to not impose new sanctions on Russia, he said: \u201cIf I think I\u2019m close to getting a deal I don\u2019t want to screw it up by doing that, let me tell you, I\u2019m a lot tougher than the people you\u2019re talking about, but you have to know when to use that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I think it\u2019s going to hurt a deal \u2014 this isn\u2019t my war, this is Biden\u2019s war, Zelenskyy\u2019s war, Putin\u2019s war. This isn\u2019t Trump\u2019s war.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides of the conflict have been killed.<\/p>\n

Earlier Wednesday, the U.N. concluded that Russia has been systematically committing war crimes<\/a> against civilians in Ukraine\u2019s Kherson region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Russia has stepped up its bombardment of Ukraine in recent weeks, despite a successful prisoner swap conducted late…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":139495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7654],"tags":[6178,32,2595,2000,299,714,2598,809,332,2663,657,49,333,2601,771,335],"class_list":{"0":"post-139494","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ukraine","8":"tag-conflict","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-drones","11":"tag-eu","12":"tag-europe","13":"tag-joe-biden","14":"tag-missiles","15":"tag-negotiations","16":"tag-russia","17":"tag-sanctions","18":"tag-ukraine","19":"tag-united-states","20":"tag-vladimir-putin","21":"tag-volodymyr-zelenskyy","22":"tag-war","23":"tag-war-in-ukraine"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114587138153425052","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/139495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
