President Donald Trump prostrated himself before Vladimir Putin following a threat by Russia‘s leader to commit new war crimes in Ukraine. Trump’s relevant post followed his call with Putin on Wednesday.

Noting that the two leaders had discussed Trump’s effort to secure a new nuclear agreement with Iran, Trump added that “we discussed the attack by Ukraine on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.”
