“… Journalists on board Air Force One asked Trump whether Ukraine’s drone strikes deep inside Russia changed his view of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s cards, Kyiv Post’s Washington correspondent reports.
Trump: “Well they gave Putin a reason to go in and bomb the hell out of them last night. That’s the thing I didn’t like about it.”
“When I saw it, I said, ‘Here we go, now it’s going to be a strike.”
… Trump was evidently referring to the Russian strikes that have followed “Spiderweb,” including mass attacks largely striking civilian targets in
Friday and
Saturdayattacks.
Reporter: “Are you worried that Russia-Ukraine could spiral into a nuclear conflict?”
Trump: “I don’t… I hope not. I hope not.”…”
