> Trump said Russia had been “fine on Ukraine” and “hasn't been doing much.” That same day, a Russian drone strike in a public park killed six people, including two children; the previous night, Russia attacked Kyiv and targeted nearly 30 critical energy facilities across Ukraine. Trump said a possible meeting with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping would focus on nuclear disarmament, not Ukraine.
