Trump said after a call last week with Putin that he was unhappy with Russia’s president and “I don’t think he’s looking to stop” the war. Then, speaking at the start of a dinner he hosted for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday night, Trump said, “I’m not happy with President Putin at all.”

The US president accused Vladimir Putin of distracting Washington with "bulls**t" in talks over Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had urged officials to intensify contact with the US.

President Donald Trump delivered some of his sharpest-ever criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin and said the U.S. is resuming deliveries of weapons to Ukraine to counter Russian attacks on civilians.
