Is Russia’s biggest attack on Ukraine so far, is Putin deliberately challenging Trump? .
Russia has always hit the largest drone and missile. The attack took place on the night of May 25 and 26. There were record attacks on May 25 to three nights. On May 25, Russia struck 13 parts of Ukraine with 298 drones and 69 missiles, killing 14 people and 70 wounded. This was followed by 355 drones and 9 missiles on May 26. Ukrainian President Volodimir Jaitonski said on May 26, Russia had removed more than 900 drones on Ukraine in three days.
This major attack furious US President Donald Trump. He has severely reduced his social media site, Truth Social, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and said that Putin was ‘completely crazy’. On Tuesday, Trump wrote, ‘If I was not there, a lot of bad things would have happened with Russia. He’s playing with fire! ‘Bhaktan’
However, he took Trump’s statement lightly and said that Trump and others may have been smashed. But former Russian President Dimitri Medvedev Trump says Trump says Trump Putin is playing with fire and ‘very bad things’ with Russia. I only know the worst thing, and I hope that Trump will understand this!
The cause of Trump’s dissatisfaction
Trump’s dissatisfaction can be understood. Trump had a big election promise to make peace between Russia and Ukraine. Trump has repeatedly said he will end the Russia-Ukrainian war within 24 hours. In May 2023, Trump said the Russian and Ukrainians were dying at the CNN Town Hall. I want them to stop dying. I will do this in 24 hours.
Earlier, after becoming president in January 2025, Trump immediately began peace talks. He spoke to both Jaitonski and Putin and supported the direct talks. Trump gave a 30 -day normal ceasefire to start a big talk. But his efforts failed. On the contrary, Russia’s attacks intensified.
Russia’s attacks on Ukraine: See statistics
According to the location and event data of the armed conflict, there were 4,126 incidents in Ukraine from April 20 to May 16 before the recent major attacks. Of these, 297 incidents were attacked by the civilians, of which at least 108 died. At this time, Russia hit more than 80 long -range missiles and drones. The Russian army also increased a significant increase in Donetsk, Karkiv and Sumi areas.
Why not acknowledged Putin?
Putin’s stubborn attitude may have come from Trump’s sharp behavior during the Jaitonsky White House tour in February. Putin refused to negotiate in a direct peace negotiations and sent a delegation to Turkey, describing it as ‘the lowest level’. After several days of confusion, it became clear that Russia was not in the mood for conversation.
Negotiations in Istanbul, but as a result not available
Three years later, the first direct conversation between Russia and Ukraine took place in Istanbul on 16 May 2025. In this speech, 1,000 prisoners were replaced, which was a huge success. However, the main purpose of Ukraine is a completely and unconditional ceasefire, which is not fulfilled. Ukraine proposed a 30-day unconditional ceasefire and the direct meeting of the Jaitonski-Foot, but Russia rejected it. Russia said the first Ukraine should remove its military from controversial areas, and only then the ceasefire.
