Top Republican Senator Urges Trump To 'At Least' Sanction Russia After Biggest Drone Attack On Ukraine: 'I've Had Enough'

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley urged President Donald Trump to "at least" impose sanctions on Russia following the largest drone attack by Moscow against Ukraine since the war began more than three years ago.

"I've had enuf of Putin killing innocent ppl. Pres Trump Take action AT LEAST SANCTIONS," Grassley said in a post on X.

An Ukrainian official told The Associated Press on Monday that Russia had launched the largest drone attack overnight, including 355 such aircraft. It had fired 298 drones and 69 missiles the day prior, and between Friday and Sunday the figure reached 900 drones. It comes as Moscow assembles forces for a summer offensive, according to analysts cited by the outlet.

"Only a sense of complete impunity can allow Russia to carry out such attacks and continually escalate their scale," said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Telegram. "There is no significant military logic to this, but there is considerable political meaning."

Donald Trump did criticize Putin on Sunday, saying he had gone "crazy" following the attack. "I've always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him," Trump said during a passage of his message posted on his social media platform, Truth Social.

"He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I'm not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever," Trump added. He also criticized Zelensky, saying "everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don't like it, and it better stop."

The Kremlin largely dismissed Trump's statement, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov telling Reuters that "this is a a very crucial moment, which is associated, of course, with the emotional overload of everyone absolutely and with emotional reactions."

"We are really grateful to the Americans and to President Trump personally for their assistance in organizing and launching this negotiation process," Peskov added.
