Trump says Ukraine ‘should have never started it’ in comments about war with Russia

The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was insulted by Trump at the time. In February 2022, Russia attacked Ukraine.

Russia invaded the country three years ago, and President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Ukraine was to blame. He said that Kyiv could have made a deal to avoid the war.

Trump criticized President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for calling for talks between the US and Russia in Saudi Arabia and saying, “You should have never started it.” Zelenskyy had been upset that his country was not included in the talks.
