Former President Trump dismissed the possibility of NATO membership for Ukraine and incorrectly blamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for starting the war. While initially, Russian forces made significant advances, including a failed offensive on Kyiv, they've now shifted to a war of attrition with limited territorial changes despite heavy casualties. Although Ukraine achieved some notable victories in 2022, ongoing conflict has led to continued attacks on civilian infrastructure and a recent stalemate in military gains, with Russia's limited territorial acquisitions failing to shift the overall balance significantly since the conflict began.
Trump's statements regarding NATO membership and the war in Ukraine mischaracterize the situation, asserting that Zelensky is to blame for initiating the conflict, which undermines Ukraine's sovereignty.
Despite high casualties on both sides, the territorial control in Ukraine remains largely unchanged since 2022, illustrating the ongoing stalemate in the conflict despite expectations of significant shifts.
