What does Trump claim about the potential outcome of negotiating a deal for Ukraine?
According to Trump, he could have negotiated a deal for Ukraine that would have preserved almost all of their land while preventing the human cost and physical destruction of the war. He asserts that such a deal would have meant no people killed, no cities demolished, and no domes knocked down. Trump criticizes the Ukrainian leadership for not pursuing this diplomatic path, suggesting they have been fighting for three years when they should have ended the conflict earlier or never started it.
