JAKARTA - The Kremlin said US President Donald Trump's claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin was "completely insane" may be caused by emotional burdens.

But Russia thanked the US leader for his assistance in launching Ukraine peace negotiations. Trump said Putin was "absolutely insane" by launching the biggest airstrikes in the war in Ukraine. The US said Trump was considering new sanctions against Moscow, although he also reprimanded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

"We are very grateful to America and President Trump personally for their help in organizing and launching this negotiation process," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said when asked about Trump's statement about Putin, Monday, May 26.

"Of course, at the same time, this is a very important moment, which of course relates to everyone's absolute emotional burden and with emotional reactions," Peskov continued.

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.
