Russia reportedly launched the largest drone attack of the Ukraine war Sunday night after President Donald Trump expressed growing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Kremlin pounded Ukraine with 355 drones Sunday night following comparable attacks throughout the weekend, marking the largest combined aerial assault on the nation since the start of the war in 2022, Yuriy Ihnat, the Ukrainian air force’s communications department head, told The Associated Press. The attack Sunday night directly followed Trump unloading on the Russian president to reporters, saying he was “not happy” with the attacks and he didn’t know “what the hell happened” to the Russian leader.
“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him,” Trump posted to Truth Social several hours after his initial comments on Sunday. “He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!”
On Saturday, Russia launched 298 drones and 69 missiles into Ukraine, netting a total of 900 attacks from Friday to Sunday, according to the AP. Ukraine’s figures for the number of drones and missiles launched could not be independently verified by the AP.
