What this wasThe story

On 24 April 2025, hours after a Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he was not happy with the strikes — “Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP!” — and urged both sides to get a peace deal done.

Reported worldwide as a rare public rebuke of Putin by Trump; the memes were collected by Ukrainian outlets the same night.

Why it matteredWhat changed

It addressed Putin only as “Vladimir”, and that was where the jokes started: within hours Ukrainian social media had turned the post into a wave of memes, and a US congressman had joined in.

Where it came fromWhat we know

There is no original upload to identify: this did not begin as one. There is no copy of it here either — what it was, when it appeared and what people called it is what this page can tell you.

Nothing here is claimed to be the first publication of this Moment, because the first publication was not an upload. This first circulated as a social-media post, not as a video upload.
