The US president made the bizarre comment on board Air Force One on Sunday night.
He said: “I think it was terrible. And I was told they made a mistake. But I think it’s a horrible thing. I think the whole war is a horrible thing.”
However, he did not expand on his theory.
At least 34 people were killed and a further 83 were injured when two missiles struck the town of Sumy as worshippers made their way to Palm Sunday church services.
The strikes were a further blow to Trump’s attempts to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine to end the war, which began more than three years ago
believed that the attack was a mistake, the prime minister’s official spokesman said: “The strikes by the Russians over the weekend, and over recent months, are beyond the pale [and] they’re barbaric.
We’re committed to supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes to bring this barbaric war to an end and secure a just and lasting peace.”
Speaking to US broadcaster CBS after the Sumy attack, he said: “Please, before any kind of decisions, any kind of forms of negotiations, come to see people, civilians, warriors, hospitals, churches, children destroyed or dead.”
Later in the interview, the Ukrainian leader said: “Putin can’t be trusted. I told that to President Trump many times. So, when you ask why the ceasefire isn’t working – this is why.
“Putin never wanted an end to the war. Putin never wanted us to be independent. Putin wants to destroy us completely – our sovereignty and our people.”
