United States President Donald Trump has warned his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin Tuesday that he was “playing with fire” over the Ukraine war.
Trump gave the warning in a statement on Tuesday, May 27, 2025.
Trump’s latest broadside showed his frustration with stalled ceasefire talks and comes two days after he called the Kremlin leader “absolutely CRAZY” following a major drone attack on Ukraine.
Russia, which invaded Ukraine in February 2022, insisted it was responding to escalating Ukrainian strikes on its own civilians and accused Kyiv of trying to “disrupt” peace efforts.
Diplomatic efforts to end the war have intensified in recent weeks, but Putin has been accused of stalling peace talks.
“What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire!” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

Trump did not specify what the “really bad” things were.
But the Wall Street Journal and CNN both reported that the president was now considering fresh sanctions as early as this week.
Trump told reporters on Sunday he was “absolutely” weighing such a move.
Russian air defenses destroyed 2,331 Ukrainian drones between May 20 and 27.
Fresh drone attacks were also reported overnight to Wednesday.
