“Donald Trump has accused Vladimir Putin of stringing him along over Ukraine peace talks.
“There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days,” the US president posted on Truth Social on Saturday.
“It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along.”
Mr Trump’s criticism of the Russian president followed his meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, at the funeral of Pope Francis at the Vatican.
It came as Putin declared victory in Kursk, with the Russian army claiming Ukrainian forces had been expelled from the region nearly nine months after a surprise Ukrainian incursion.“
