Trump negatively about Putin
On Monday, Trump also negatively assessed Putin's decisions. – I don't like what Putin is doing. He kills many people. What about hell has happened to Putin? I have known him for a long time, I have always got along with him, but he fires rockets in the city and kills people. I don't like it. We are in the process of talks and he shoots rockets in Kyiv and other cities. I don't like it at all – he told journalists. He admitted that he was “very surprised” by the behavior of Russia's leader.
