How are politicians responding to Trump's statements on the Ukraine-Russia war?

Trump's alignment with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his false claims about Ukraine starting the war have sparked strong bipartisan criticism. Democrats are pushing back against these inaccurate assertions about the conflict's origins, while Republican Senator Roger Wicker has also publicly labeled Trump's comments as false. Political analysts note that it's 'shocking' for a U.S. President to misunderstand the fundamental elements of how the Ukraine crisis developed. When asked whether Republican voters appreciate seeing the U.S. President endorsing Kremlin talking points, analysts indicate they do not, suggesting that Trump's position on Ukraine runs contrary to the preferences of even his own party's voters.
