Trump has toned down his criticism of Putin

Donald Trump published another post about Vladimir Putin. This time, he warned the Russian leader that he was playing with fire, but did so in a calmer manner than the day before.

Quote : “What Vladimir Putin doesn’t understand is that if it weren’t for me, a lot of very bad things would already have happened to Russia, and I mean VERY BAD. He's playing with fire!

• ️The day before, Trump wrote that Putin had “gone crazy,” and in a statement to journalists he threatened the Russian president with sanctions.

Context. Russian propaganda did not respond to this statement, and presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov associated it with “the emotional overload of absolutely everyone.” On Tuesday, Peskov said that "Trump is very balanced in his approach."

• ️At the same time, Russia on Tuesday sharply reduced the intensity of air strikes on Ukraine. It was their sudden intensification that became the reason for Trump’s statement that Putin has “gone crazy.”
