Trump Blames Ukraine for Russian Bombings
Following a major Ukrainian drone strike on Russian air bases (Operation Spiderweb), Russia launched a large-scale retaliatory attack on Ukrainian cities, resulting in casualties. President Trump, while expressing disapproval of the Ukrainian action, appeared to justify Russia’s response, suggesting it was a predictable consequence. Trump previously warned of severe Russian retaliation and has delayed imposing further sanctions on Russia, citing hopes for a peace deal. Despite this, a bipartisan sanctions bill awaits Congressional approval.
