Trump Condemns Deadly Russian Strikes on Kyiv: “I Am Not Happy”
Trump says he is 'not happy' with deadly Russian strikes on Kyiv
April 25, 2025 — Washington, D.C.
Previous U.S. Following Russia's deadly missile and drone attacks on Kyiv, which left at least 12 people dead and nearly 90 injured, President Donald Trump has expressed his strong disapproval. One of the deadliest attacks on the capital of Ukraine in nearly a year, the attack has sparked global outrage amid ongoing peace negotiations. Trump wrote, "Vladimir, STOP!" in a rare and direct rebuke of Russian President Vladimir Putin on his social media platform, Truth Social. In stark contrast to Trump's typically cautious or ambiguous stance toward Putin during his presidency and subsequent years, this public rebuke is a departure. The Dangerous Attack on Kiev The April 23rd attack on Kyiv was characterized by a barrage of missile and drone strikes that left residential buildings, hospitals, and key infrastructure damaged. Rescue teams worked throughout the night to pull survivors from the rubble, while the international community condemned the escalation.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the attack as “another act of terrorism” and called for increased international support to defend against further aggression. NATO allies and European Union leaders quickly joined in denouncing the strikes, with many urging Russia to return to diplomatic channels.
Trump Sends a Clear Message to Break the Silence On Truth Social, Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner for the U.S. presidency in 2024, broke his silence with a pointed message. “What happened in Kyiv is a disgrace. Innocent people are being killed. Stop, Vladimir! he wrote.
Trump's remarks come at a crucial time, when peace talks are said to be moving forward behind closed doors. According to insiders, Russia had recently made tentative concessions, including scaling back its ambitions of complete Ukrainian territorial control—moves that some analysts interpreted as signals of potential de-escalation.
Peace talks and pressure from politicians Despite these early signs of diplomatic movement, Trump’s tone quickly shifted to a more critical posture—aimed not only at Russia but also at Ukraine. In subsequent remarks, he criticized President Zelensky for being “too rigid” on the issue of Crimea, the region annexed by Russia in 2014.
Trump stated, "He [Zelensky] needs to be realistic." “If Ukraine is not willing to compromise, the United States may not be able to support this peace process forever. We can’t be in a war that nobody wants to end.”
This statement has drawn sharp criticism from various quarters, with critics accusing Trump of downplaying the importance of Ukraine’s sovereignty and international law. In addition, Trump's backers argue that the "America First" strategy puts U.S. interests first and puts an immediate end to conflict. International Reaction
Globally, the response to Trump's message to Putin has been mixed. While European leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz welcomed the call for a ceasefire, many expressed concern over Trump’s suggestion that the U.S. could pull out of negotiations.
At a press conference in Brussels, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated, "We are encouraged by any message that leads to peace." However, we must remain united in our support for Ukraine’s sovereignty. Justice cannot be sacrificed for peace. Looking Ahead
It's likely that the next few weeks will be important. High-level meetings between U.S. and NATO officials are scheduled, and further talks with Russian and Ukrainian negotiators are expected. Trump has indicated he may take a more active role in brokering a deal, especially if he wins the presidency again in 2024.
For now, the world watches closely as Kyiv mourns its dead, and political leaders navigate one of the most complex and dangerous geopolitical crises in recent memory.

William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and one of the most influential figures in world literature. His plays and poems have crossed centuries, cultures, and languages, shaping storytelling, drama, and even everyday speech. Yet, despite his immense fame, much of Shakespeare’s personal life remains a mystery. What we do know paints the picture of a remarkable man who rose from a small market town to become the most celebrated playwright of his age. William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, a small town in Warwickshire, England. The exact date of his birth is unknown, but church records show that he was baptized on April 26, 1564, and it is traditionally believed that he was born on April 23. His father, John Shakespeare, was a glove maker and a local businessman who also held public offices, including that of alderman and bailiff (similar to a mayor). His mother, Mary Arden, came from a respected and relatively wealthy farming family. This background gave young William a stable upbringing and access to education. Shakespeare likely attended the local grammar school in Stratford, where boys were taught reading, writing, Latin grammar, and classical literature. At school, he would have studied works by Roman writers such as Ovid, Virgil, and Seneca—authors who later influenced his plays and poetry. Although there is no record of Shakespeare attending university, his deep knowledge of history, law, politics, and human nature suggests a strong education and an inquisitive mind. At the age of eighteen, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway in 1582. Anne was eight years older than him, which was unusual for the time. The couple had three children: Susanna, born in 1583, and twins Hamnet and Judith, born in 1585. Tragically, Hamnet died at the age of eleven, a loss that many scholars believe deeply affected Shakespeare and may have influenced the themes of grief and loss in his later works. After the birth of his twins, Shakespeare’s life enters a period often referred to as the “lost years.” From around 1585 to 1592, there are no clear records of his activities. Many theories exist: some believe he worked as a schoolteacher, others think he traveled with acting companies, and some suggest he may have worked in London in various jobs related to the theater. Whatever he did during these years, by the early 1590s Shakespeare had clearly found his calling. By 1592, Shakespeare was established in London as an actor and playwright. London at the time was a bustling city, full of opportunity but also danger, with frequent outbreaks of plague and political tension. The theater was a popular form of entertainment, attracting people from all levels of society—from nobles to common laborers. Shakespeare became associated with a leading acting company known as the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, which later became the King’s Men under King James I. This royal patronage gave the company prestige and financial stability. Shakespeare wrote plays at an astonishing pace. His early works included comedies such as The Comedy of Errors and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as well as historical plays like Henry VI and Richard III. These plays established his reputation for rich language, memorable characters, and engaging plots. As his career progressed, his writing grew more complex and mature. In the late 1590s and early 1600s, Shakespeare produced many of his greatest tragedies, including Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. These plays explore deep themes such as ambition, power, jealousy, love, betrayal, and the nature of humanity itself. Shakespeare’s characters are not simple heroes or villains; they are deeply human, full of contradictions and inner struggles. This psychological depth is one of the reasons his works remain relevant today. Shakespeare was not only a playwright but also a poet. In 1609, his collection of 154 sonnets was published. These poems deal with themes of love, beauty, time, mortality, and art. Written in a strict poetic form, the sonnets demonstrate Shakespeare’s mastery of language and emotion. Many of them are still studied and memorized by students around the world. Financially, Shakespeare was very successful. He invested wisely, purchasing property in Stratford-upon-Avon, including a large house known as New Place. Despite his success in London, he maintained strong ties to his hometown. By around 1613, Shakespeare began to retire from active writing and returned to Stratford, where he lived as a respected and wealthy gentleman. William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616, at the age of 52. The cause of his death is unknown. He was buried in the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon. His grave bears a famous epitaph warning against moving his bones, a request that has been honored to this day. Seven years after his death, in 1623, Shakespeare’s friends and fellow actors published the First Folio, a collection of 36 of his plays. Without this effort, many of his works might have been lost forever. The First Folio secured Shakespeare’s place in literary history and allowed future generations to discover and study his genius. William Shakespeare’s legacy is immense. He contributed hundreds of words and phrases to the English language, many of which are still in use today. His plays are performed more often than those of any other playwright, and his influence can be seen in literature, film, theater, and popular culture worldwide. More than four hundred years after his death, Shakespeare continues to speak to the human experience, proving that great storytelling truly has no boundaries of time or place. In the end, Shakespeare’s life is a powerful story of talent, determination, and imagination. From a small-town boy in Stratford to the world’s most celebrated writer, his journey reminds us of the enduring power of words and the timeless nature of human emotion.

The Rise and Fall of Nicolae Ceaușescu
Nicolae Ceaușescu’s rise to power was initially marked by promise, even optimism. Born in 1918 into a poor peasant family, he entered politics early, shaped by the ideological rigidity of interwar and wartime communism. When he became General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party in 1965, following the death of Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, many Romanians saw in him a younger leader, one who might soften the harsh Stalinist legacy that had defined the previous decades. For a society weary of repression and deprivation, Ceaușescu appeared to embody the possibility of cautious change.
