Trump on strikes deep into Russia with US weapons
– I absolutely do not agree with launching missiles hundreds of miles deep into Russia. Why do we need that? We are only provoking an escalation of this war, aggravating the situation, — said the politician.
According to Trump, “this shouldn't have been allowed”, he called it a very big mistake.
He also criticized Kyiv's position on this issue.
— I think the most dangerous thing right now — is that Zelensky decided, perhaps with the permission of our president, to launch missiles at Russia. I think this is a serious escalation and a stupid decision, — said Trump.
Recall that earlier Trump called for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and negotiations, saying that “it's time to act”.
