President Donald Trump tore into Russian President Vladimir Putin when asked Sunday evening by a reporter for an update on the Ukraine war. 'Yeah, I'll give you an update. I'm not happy with what Putin's doing,' Trump said at. the Morristown Airport as he departed his Bedminster golf club to head back to Washington. 'He's killing a lot of people and I don't know what the hell happened to Putin.' 'I've known him a lot time. Always gotten along with him. But he's sending rockets into cities and killing people and I don't like it at all, OK?' the president complained. 'We're in the middle of talking and he's shooting rockets into Kyiv and other cities. I don't like it at all.' Trump said he was 'absolutely' now considering more sanctions on Russia due to Putin's behavior. The U.S. president had spoken on the phone for two hours with Putin on Monday - but those conversations did not lead to a ceasefire. Instead, Russia continued to attack Ukraine through the weekend, with Trump largely silent on the war while he spent parts of Saturday and Sunday at his New Jersey golf club. Saturday morning he visited the United States Military Academy at West Point to deliver a commencement address. 'He's killing a lot of people, I don't know what's wrong with him,' Trump said Sunday of Putin. 'What he hell happened to him right? He's killing a lot of people, I'm not happy about that.' The president was asked about a claim made by a Russian commander that Putin's helicopter almost got caught in the middle of a Ukrainian drone attack. 'I haven't heard that,' Trump replied. 'Maybe that would be a reason,' the president speculated. 'I don't know, but I have not heard that,' the president added. Overnight Russia unleashed one of its largest drone and missile attacks on Ukraine, the second large-scale attack in two nights, and a third in just a week. Ukraine's air force said Sunday that Russia had launched 69 ballistic and cruise missiles, along with 298 attack drones, with about two-thirds of the missiles and drones shot down. At least 13 were reported dead and 57 injured in the attacks.
