Trump remarks on ceasefire violations as Russia attacks Kyiv high‑rise

President Donald Trump addressed the recent escalation in Ukraine, saying he needs to see the full picture before holding Russia solely accountable for cease‑fire violations. He referred to the Monday evening drone strike on a tall residential building in Kyiv that left two dead and nine injured.

Trump emphasized that both sides have breached agreements and that a thorough review is essential to determine culpability. He also highlighted the tragic human cost of the conflict, noting that more than 32,000 lives have been lost this month alone.

Zelenskyy’s reaction on X accused Moscow of “spreading terror” and called the attack a motive for stronger international action against Russia. He urged the United States to recognize the incident as a signal of Russia’s intent to prolong the war and to respond with concrete measures.

The comments come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to negotiate a cease‑fire, with U.S. officials monitoring the situation closely for any further violations.
