JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump said Vladimir Putin was completely crazy by launching the biggest airstrikes in the war in Ukraine.
Trump is considering further sanctions against Moscow, but he also rebuked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"Something has happened to him. He's really CRAZY!" Trump said of Putin via Truth Social.
"I've always said that he wants all of Ukraine, not just part of it, and maybe it's proven true, but if he does, it will cause Russia to fall!," Trump continued.
Trump also criticized Zelenskyy by saying the Ukrainian leader did not help his country by making statements that were problematic.
Previously, speaking to reporters at the airport in Morristown, New Jersey, Trump said he was unhappy with Russia's attack on Ukraine.
"I don't know what's wrong with him. What happened to him? Right? He killed a lot of people. I'm not happy with that," he said.
There was no immediate response from the Kremlin or from Zelenskyy's office regarding Trump's statement.
In the biggest airstrikes in the war, Russia hit Ukrainian cities and other targets with 367 drones and missiles on Sunday night. The attack killed 12 people, including three children in the northern region of Zhytomyr.
The Russian attack was the largest in the war related to fired weapons, although other attacks killed more people.
Trump has pressured Russia and Ukraine to end the war that has lasted for more than three years, but both sides are still far apart. While major countries negotiated, the war was heating up and Russian troops continued to advance in eastern Ukraine.
A swarm of drones was launched by both sides while heavy fighting was underway along key frontline sections.
The Kremlin said it was carrying out what it called a "special military operation" in Ukraine to protect Russia from NATO interference on its border.
While Ukraine says Russia is launching an baseless war of aggression.
