The Kremlin on Monday pushed back at President Donald Trump’s comments that dubbed his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, "crazy," mulling whether the American leader was suffering from "emotional overload." While thanking Trump for “helping start” the negotiation process between Moscow and Kyiv, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said these talks went “hand in hand with an emotional overload of absolutely everyone and with emotional reactions.”

Donald Trump has threatened Russia with more sanctions after its biggest drone attack on Ukraine since the start of the war and a series of deadly strikes across the country, as he said of Vladimir Putin: "What the hell happened to him?" The Ukrainian air force said on Monday that Russia had launched 355 drones and nine cruise missiles against Ukraine overnight - "a record number of drones since the start of the full-scale invasion".

Russia on Monday suggested President Trump is suffering from “emotional overload” after the commander-in-chief blasted Russian President Vladimir Putin as “crazy” for his escalating attacks on Ukraine. “We are really grateful to the Americans and to President Trump personally for their assistance in organizing and launching this negotiation process,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said when asked about Trump’s earlier criticism of Putin. “Of course, at the same time, this is a very crucial moment, which is associated, of course, with the emotional overload of everyone absolutely and with emotional reactions.”
