24.04.2025 ⇢ Day Trump Commanded Putin To Stop Kyiv Bloodshed
⌨
Russia launched its deadliest attack on Kyiv in months, killing at least 12 people. President Zelensky cut short his South Africa trip in response. Early coverage highlighted Trump's criticism of Zelensky for blocking peace talks and refusing territorial concessions.
By midday, Trump dramatically shifted tone with a direct command to Putin: "Vladimir, STOP!" This unusual rebuke came as the Kremlin echoed Trump's earlier criticism of Zelensky. Trump later claimed Russia had made a "pretty big concession" by not seizing all of Ukraine while insisting he was "putting pressure" on both sides.
Meanwhile, tensions between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan escalated, with India ordering all Pakistani nationals to leave the country amid fears of potential conflict following a massacre in Kashmir.
Domestic coverage included Andrew Flintoff's first public comments about his Top Gear crash and allegations against a famous comedian for sexual misconduct.
