Trump describes Putin as absolutely crazy about new drone attacks

Kiew, Ukraine - On May 27, 2025, the Ukraine conflict takes a dramatic turn. In the middle of one of the biggest drone attacks that have been carried out more than three years ago since the beginning of the war, former US President Donald Trump expresses sharp criticism of Vladimir Putin. Trump describes the Russian president as "absolutely crazy" and speaks about the devastating effects of the bombing on the Ukrainian civilian population. He emphasizes that rockets and drones are shot into Ukrainian cities for no reason and warns that Putin wants the entire Ukraine, which could lead to Russia. Trump sees himself in the role of a potential problem solver who tries to eliminate problems caused by "gross incompetence and hatred".

The escalation of the attacks is overwhelming. On Sunday evening, the Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia had sent 355 drones into the country. This was the highlight of a series of attacks that included around 900 drone attacks throughout the weekend. The night before, 298 drones and 69 different rockets had been fired. The Ukrainian air forces were able to intercept 88 drones, while 128 was lost. A woman died in Kiev, and several other people, including a four -year -old child, were injured. The areas concerned extend from Kyiv to Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk.

political reactions and peace talks

Trump also expresses that the conflict would have been in office during his presidency, and would not have been created in this form. His focus is clearly on the relationship between Selenskyj, Putin and Biden, of which he believes that they only tighten the problems. At the same time, he criticizes the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, whose rhetoric in his opinion complicated.

The current attacks of Russia come at a time when, after direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, a certain pressure is on both sides. Despite these conversations that lasted three years ago, there was no ceasefire. In a rare sign of the cooperation, 303 prisoners of war were replaced on Sunday between the two countries. But the hopes of progress in the peace negotiations seem to be low in the face of the Russian offensive.

• Russia broke his record for air raids to Ukraine three times this month.
• The EU plans to impose further sanctions against Russia.
• International pressure on Russia to make progress in the talks increases.

In addition, European heads of government show optimistic signals regarding Trump's changed perception of Putin. Macron noted that Trump had apparently recognized that Putin had deceived him with regard to diplomatic solutions. In this context, Friedrich Merz underlined that Putin does not see conversations as a sign of strength, but weakness, which continues to complicate the situation.

The air strikes by Russia are part of an ongoing offensive that extends along the approximately 620 miles long front line. The United States has recently increased its pressure on Russia and threatens to sanctions. Trump even plans a phone call with Putin to discuss his approach, while Merz emphasizes that the determination of Europeans and Americans to end the war remains unchanged.

In this turbulent context, it remains to be seen the effects of Trump's effects and the military escalation on the political efforts for peace in the region will have. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian President Selenskyj calls for stricter international economic measures against Russia to further increase the pressure on the Kremlin

Overall, the conflict is characterized by enormous human suffering, which was also visible in the latest escalations. The international community watches the developments intently, while hope for a peaceful solution is still on the brink.
