Russia on Monday suggested President Trump is suffering from “emotional overload” after the commander-in-chief blasted Russian President Vladimir Putin as “crazy” for his attacks on Ukraine.
“We are really grateful to the Americans and to President Trump personally for their assistance in organizing and launching this negotiation process,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said when asked about Trump’s earlier criticism of Putin.
“Of course, at the same time, this is a very crucial moment, which is associated, of course, with the emotional overload of everyone absolutely and with emotional reactions.”
