Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whose country was invaded by Russia on February 24, 2022, “should never have let this war begin”, declared Thursday October 17 Donald Trump, 19 days before an election which could send back to the White House. Joe Biden is “the instigator of this war”, also affirmed the Republican candidate, while the Ukrainians and many Europeans fear that a possible victory for the septuagenarian would lead to an abandonment of American military aid to kyiv.
“Ukraine, please note, is no longer Ukraine,” added the former president, in a discussion with Patrick Bet-David, a businessman who broadcasts an online show called “PBD Podcast “. “Every city is practically razed to the ground. All these magnificent golden domes are on the ground, reduced to pieces,” continued Donald Trump. He added, regarding Volodymyr Zelensky: “That doesn’t mean that I don’t want to help him, because I feel sorry for these people.” These are Donald Trump’s harshest remarks targeting the Ukrainian president since the meeting between the two men at the end of September in New York.
“He said exactly the opposite of what should have been”
Joe Biden bears, according to the Republican, the responsibility for not having been able to avoid this conflict. “If we had a president with half a brain, this would have been easy to resolve,” he assured. “I blame him for the most part. He said exactly the opposite of what should have been said. He was the instigator of this war.”
The Republican candidate assures that he will be able to resolve the Ukrainian crisis in 24 hours if he is elected on November 5, through the presumed respect he would arouse at the international level and through his relationship with Vladimir Putin. He keeps repeating that if he had been in the White House, the war in Ukraine would never have broken out.
