15. Trump Has Now weighed In

The response seems canned, as though it is not coming from Trump. Here is what is attributed.

"President Donald Trump wants the war between Ukraine and Russia to end at the negotiating table, stated White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Sky News reports.

Responding to a question about Donald Trump's reaction to the attack by Ukrainian drones on Russia on Sunday, she said: "The reaction is this war needs to come to an end. This war has been brutal from both sides, and too many people have died."

The statement "this war has been brutal from both sides, and too many people have died" doesn't reflect reality. I have not heard that any Russians were killed in this specific drone attack. Perhaps she confuses strategic nuclear bombers with day care centers, hospital maternity wards, and shopping centers. That is the pairing that reflects reality.
