Trump Says Putin Has ‘Changed,’ Blasts Rocket Attacks on Kyiv

President Donald J. Trump expressed frustration over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent missile strikes on Ukraine, saying he no longer recognizes the leader he once dealt with. “I don’t know what the hell happened to him,” Trump remarked. “We’re in the middle of talking and he’s shooting rockets into Kyiv and other cities. I don’t like it at all.” The statement reflects a shift in tone from Trump, who previously emphasized his rapport with Putin but now appears alarmed by the escalating violence.
