The drone strike on a train in Ukraine shows how desperate Russian President Vladimir Putin has become, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said on Monday.

"Russia is growing increasingly reckless as it continues its terrible war against Ukraine," he also said.

European Union’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the strike was meant to scare Western countries supporting Ukraine, but that that nation should responding by doing the "opposite."

"We should show that we are there for Ukraine and we are not scared," she said.

President Donald Trump took questions regarding the war, too, saying a global surge in diesel prices is being driven by the conflict.
