Donald Trump has said Vladimir Putin was “doing what anybody would do” after Russia launched a massive missile and drone strike on Ukraine days after the US cut off vital intelligence and military aid to Kyiv.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Friday Trump said he finds it “easier” to work with Russia than Ukraine and that Putin “wants to end the war”.
“I’m finding it more difficult, frankly, to deal with Ukraine. And they don’t have the cards,” Trump said. “In terms of getting a final settlement, it may be easier dealing with Russia.”
Asked whether the Russian leader was taking advantage of the pause in US intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine, Trump replied: “I actually think he is doing what anybody else would do.”
Casual genocide denial from I see. Not a single mentioned of the 15000 people killed by the fascist before that. Disgusting.
That’s absolutely delicious considering you’re defending Russia and their actions in Ukraine. You have zero credibility. You want to see genocide, look in your own history and you’ll see what Russia did to Ukraine in the past with 3.5 million dead Ukrainians with the Holodomor.
