Donald Trump expressed doubts on Saturday regarding Vladimir Putin's desire to end the war in Ukraine. This statement marks a shift from his previous day's assertion that Ukraine and Russia were close to a peace agreement.
Trump questioned Putin's recent missile strikes on civilian areas, cities, and towns. He made these remarks in a social media post while returning to the United States after attending Pope Francis's funeral at the Vatican.
During his time at the Vatican, Trump briefly met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump also hinted at the potential for further sanctions against Russia.
