The American president met the press on Sunday night Swedish time and announced that he intends to talk to Russia's president Vladimir Putin after the extensive attack.
Very soon, within the next few days, he says according to several media outlets.
The attack on Ukraine is described as the largest Russian drone attack so far during the war. Wave after wave of deadly drones swept in over the entire Ukraine.
Kyiv was hit hard. The government's seat in the capital was hit for the first time.
Trump has sought to broker peace in the war together with several European countries.
Some European leaders are coming here on Monday or Tuesday and I think we can get it done, says Trump.
Besides the size, the attack can be significant for the war in several ways. A targeted attack on the government building that was hit would be seen as a Russian escalation, since Moscow has previously avoided attacking the government quarters in the center.
The Russian defense department, however, continues its previous line, by claiming that they have not targeted any civilians at all. The attacks are alleged to be directed only against "parts of Ukraine's military-industrial complex and transport infrastructure", according to AFP.
