Trump, who has worked to broker ceasefire deal, told reporters that Russian leader is ‘killing a lot of people’

Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday that was “very surprised” that his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, has intensified the bombardment of Ukrainian cities despite the US president’s efforts to broker a ceasefire.

“I’m not happy with what Putin is doing. He’s killing a lot of people and I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin”, Trump said at an airport in New Jersey. “I’ve known him a long time, always gotten along with him, but he’s sending rockets into cities and killing people and I don’t like it at all.”
