US President Donald Trump said there was no reason for Russian President Vladimir Putin to "fire missiles at civilian areas, cities and villages" in recent days.
"This makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war, but is just dragging me out, and will have to be dealt with differently, through 'Banking' or 'Secondary Sanctions'? Too many people are dying," Trump wrote on his Truth Social network.
He accused former US President Barack Obama of allowing Russia to steal Crimea from Ukraine without a shot being fired.
Commenting on an article published today by the New York Times, he said that he had nothing to do with "this stupid war," except at the beginning, when, as he says, he gave Ukraine Javelin missiles.
"This is Sleepy Joe Biden's war, not mine. It was a loss from day one and should never have happened, nor would it have happened if I had been president at the time. I'm just trying to clean up the mess Obama and Biden left me, and what a mess it is," Trump wrote.
