Trump’s remarks come in the wake of Russia’s massive air assault on Ukraine this weekend, which resulted in several civilian casualties, including children.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has addressed Russia’s latest aerial attacks on Ukraine, calling them retaliation for Ukrainian strikes on social infrastructure.
