Trump's 'STOP' message to Putin echoes Biden's 'don't' from 2022

"Don't. Don't. Don't," Biden responded. "It will change the face of war unlike anything since World War II." 

The Thursday attack on Ukraine killed at least 10 and injured at least 90, including children, Ukraine said. 

Trump's message to Putin to "STOP!" was criticized on the Friday cover of the New York Post, which featured the headline "Words aren't enough."

On Friday morning, as Trump was leaving the White House to fly to Rome for the funeral of Pope Francis, he told reporters "I think Russia and Ukraine -- I think they're coming along, we hope. It's very fragile."

"We're working on plenty of things that shouldn't be worked on, because none of this stuff should have happened. This should have been taken place by Biden. It should have been fixed by Biden. But he couldn't do it. Nor could he come close to doing," Trump added.

He also said he has "no deadline" to resolving the war in Ukraine, but that he just wants to do it "as fast as possible."

Trump administration officials claimed they had productive talks with Putin, but they have yet to secure a deal that would end the war that has been raging since Russia's February 2022 invasion. 

Recently, several members of the administration suggested that the U.S. could end its efforts to secure a peace deal if Ukraine and Russia do not start making significant moves toward ending the war. 

White House envoy Steve Witkoff is in Moscow on Friday to meet with Putin. 

However, Lavrov added there were "some specific points, elements of the deal, which need to be fine-tuned," but did not explain what was being negotiated.
