As the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine approaches, Donald Trump has shifted blame to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, falsely claiming he initiated the conflict with Russia. Amidst international peace talks excluding Ukraine, Trump argued that Zelenskyy should have resolved the war sooner. This has sparked significant backlash in Ukraine and among its allies, especially given the historical context that Russia launched the invasion. Trump's statements have led to further debate regarding the situation's portrayal in American politics and the broader implications for U.S.-Ukraine relations.
This clashes with the evidence that Russia sent a large invasion force into Ukraine in February 2022.
Trump dismisses complaints about Ukrainian officials not being invited to talks, suggesting they’ve had ample time to resolve the conflict.
The notion that Kyiv started it has led to outrage in Ukraine and its allies.
After Zelenskyy's comments, Trump attacked further, questioning Zelenskyy's credibility and labeling him a dictator.
