LOADINGERROR LOADING

President Donald Trump on Monday said both former President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are responsible for the three-year war prompted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump, yet again, failed to fault Russian President Vladimir Putin for ordering his troops to cross into the neighboring country in February 2022.

“The War between Russia and Ukraine is Biden’s war, not mine,” Trump wrote. “I just got here, and for four years during my term, had no problem in preventing it from happening. President Putin, and everyone else, respected your President!”

Trump had no words of criticism for Putin, instead shifting his focus to Zelenskyy, whom he accused of not taking enough action to prevent the war from breaking out.

“President Zelenskyy and Crooked Joe Biden did an absolutely horrible job in allowing this travesty to begin,” he said. “There were so many ways of preventing it from ever starting. But that is the past. Now we have to get it to STOP, AND FAST. SO SAD!”

This is not the first time the U.S. president has lashed out at Zelenskyy.

Trump has called Zelenskyy a “dictator without elections,” even though elections were suspended in Ukraine due to the war. He also accused the Ukrainian leader of “gambling with World War III” during their historic Oval Office clash.

Zelenskyy told CBS’s “60 Minutes” last week that some of the White House’s messaging on the war echoes Russian talking points.

“How is it possible to witness our losses and our suffering, to understand what the Russians are doing, and to still believe that they are not the aggressors, that they did not start this war?” Zelenskyy asked, according to a translation by CBS.

“This speaks to the enormous influence of Russia’s information policy on America, on U.S. politics, and U.S. politicians,” he added.

Zelenskyy also accused Vice President JD Vance, who also sparred with him during the infamous White House meeting, of “somehow justifying Putin’s actions.”

Following the broadcast of the “60 Minutes” episode on Sunday evening, Trump called for the network to lose its license.

“They are not a ‘News Show,’ but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as ‘News’ and must be responsible for what they have done, and are doing,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, Trump on Sunday was asked to weigh in on Russia’s missile attack in the Ukrainian city of Sumy, which killed at least 34 people. But the president would not say if he thought the deadly attack was unintentional, as several world leaders condemned Moscow.

“I think it was terrible, and I was told they made a mistake,” he said. “But I think it’s a horrible thing. I think the whole war is a horrible thing.”
