Trump once again said that if he had remained the president of the United States, a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine would not have started.
Talk of Ukraine’s possible entry into NATO allegedly forced Moscow to start a war against Kyiv. Former US President and current election candidate Donald Trump announced this on Friday, June 21.
At the same time, he emphasized that the current US President Joe Biden is personally to blame for this.
“Biden said all the wrong things about Ukraine joining NATO. I’ve heard for 20 years that if Ukraine joins NATO, it’s going to be a real problem for Russia. And I think that’s reason the war started,” Trump said.
He added that during his presidency from 2017 to 2021, “there will be no talk of Russia invading Ukraine.”
“Russia did not intend to attack Ukraine,” said the former US president.
Among other things, Trump said that “Ukraine doesn’t have enough troops, and they’re going to use young and old people at the front who aren’t really ready to fight.”
Earlier, Donald Trump criticized the $60 billion aid package to Ukraine in a closed meeting with Republican Party representatives.
Let’s remember that The Telegraph said that Donald Trump, if he wins the election, could force NATO members to increase defense spending to 3% of GDP. At the same time, aid to Ukraine should not be counted in this amount.
