In the social media update, Donald Trump questioned if Vladimir Putin has been using him with no intention to have the
conflict come to an end.
"There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days," the Republican leader penned. "It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along and has to be dealt with differently, through 'Banking' or 'Secondary Sanctions?' Too many people are dying!!!"

On Thursday, April 24, Russia reportedly conducted a missile strike in Kyiv that took the lives of 12 people and injured 87.
Days later, Vladimir Putin announced Moscow's forces regained control of the western Russian city of Kursk back from the Ukrainian military. "The Kiev regime's venture has failed completely while the huge losses suffered by the enemy, in particular, those among the most combat-fit, best prepared and equipped Ukrainian army units, including the formations provided with Western equipment and these are assault units and special operations forces will undoubtedly have their impact along the entire engagement line," he said in a Saturday, April 26, statement via
Newsweek.

Joe Biden and
Barack Obama's doing before he retook office.
