A RAGING Donald Trump has slammed Vladimir Putin for talking “bull****” about the Ukraine war and making “meaningless” promises.

The savage attack comes as Trump vowed to send more weapons to Ukraine as he appears to be growing increasingly frustrated with the Russian tyrant.

“We get a lot of bull**** thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth,” Trump told reporters during a televised cabinet meeting at the White House.

“He’s very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.”

Trump reiterated that he was “very unhappy” with Putin since their phone call last week made no progress on the Ukraine peace deal – something the US president has pushed for since returning to power.

But Putin has snubbed peace and is instead steadily increasing his overnight bombing raids – which could soon hit 1,000 a day.

Trump’s criticism of Putin came a day after he said he would send more weapons to Ukraine – a sweeping reversal of Washington’s announcement last week that it was halting some arms shipments.

Trump said: “We’re going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves.

“They’re getting hit very hard now.

“We’re going to have to send more weapons, defensive weapons, primarily.”

The White House confirmed on July 1 that shipments of certain air defence missiles and other precision bombs to Ukraine had been stopped because of concerns about dwindling weapons stockpiles.

“Putin is not treating human beings right. He’s killing too many people. So we’re sending some defensive weapons and I’ve approved that,” Trump said.

But Trump promised to immediately send 10 Patriot interceptors — anti-missile systems — to Ukraine, according to Axios.

He also urged Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth to push defence contractors to increase production of armaments.

“We have to step them up, Pete, and let them make it at a much higher rate,” he said.

Asked about his interest in a bill proposed by the Senate for further sanctions on Russia, Trump said: “I’m looking at it very strongly.”

Senator Lindsey Graham said last week that Trump has given him the go-ahead to push forward with a bill he’s co-sponsoring that calls, in part, for a 500 per cent tariff on goods imported from countries that continue to buy Russian oil.
