Russia has been “fine” toward Ukraine, Trump says, on the same day a Russian drone killed a one-year-old in a public park
Trump criticized Zelenskyy’s approach to peace negotiations on the same day a Russian drone killed six people, including a 14-month-old girl, in Kharkiv Oblast. Meanwhile, gaps in advance warnings for Russian ballistic attacks on Kyiv have raised further concerns about US support.
On 19 October, US President Donald Trump claimed that Russia has been "fine" toward Ukraine, suggesting Kyiv appoint someone other than President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for negotiations, despite ongoing Russian attacks and Washington's support for Kyiv. Russia has been waging a conflict in Ukraine for over a decade, seeking to seize territory and undermine the country's sovereignty with significant violence and civilian casualties.
Trump criticized Zelenskyy for not ending the war, alleging that Ukraine did not want peace. Meanwhile, a Russian drone strike in Kharkiv Oblast killed a one-year-old girl, Anhelina, and injured 14 others, including six children. The attack highlighted gaps in warning times and further strained relations between Kyiv and Washington over support for Ukraine's defense.
