US President Donald Trump has strongly called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop his latest dangerous attack on Kyiv.
The latest attack marks the deadliest wave of attacks in the city in nine months.
In a post on his Truth Media account, Trump described the attack as “unnecessary” and “very ill-timed.”
He stressed that the violence must stop immediately and that both sides must prioritize a peace agreement to end the escalating war.
The Russian attack on Thursday morning left at least 12 people dead and more than 90 injured, after Moscow launched a devastating attack with 70 missiles and 145 drones on Ukraine.
A total of 13 locations in Kyiv, including residential buildings, were hit in the attack that claimed lives and damaged infrastructure.
Trump, who believes that both Russia and Ukraine want peace, has insisted that a solution can only be achieved when both sides sit down together at the negotiating table.
Amidst this chaos, the White House has come under increasing pressure from European leaders, such as French President Emmanuel Macron, who has insisted that Russia is the only aggressor in the conflict.
Now, the world is holding its breath – waiting to see whether Trump’s call will be the beginning of a peaceful solution, or just another echo in an endless stalemate.
