Former U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly stated that Russia’s behavior towards Ukraine is “okay,” suggesting a potential meeting between the leaders of the USA, Russia, and China should not be jeopardized by the situation in Ukraine. He explicitly claimed Russia "isn’t doing too much," on the same day a Russian attack in the Kharkiv Oblast killed six people, including two children. This statement came after a night of Russian strikes targeting Kyiv and critical energy infrastructure across Ukraine. According to The Kyiv Independent, Trump did not directly address these attacks. His comments have drawn criticism for seemingly minimizing the ongoing conflict and its human cost. This occurred despite continued reports of Russian military actions and casualties within Ukraine.
