What is President Trump claiming about the Ukraine-Russia war and is it accurate?
President Trump is inaccurately blaming Ukraine for provoking the war with Russia, claiming Ukraine started the conflict by getting too close to NATO and the EU, and moving away from Russia. He suggests it was Ukraine's fault and that Ukraine initiated hostilities. This claim directly contradicts established facts. CNN correspondent Alex Marquardt emphasizes these statements are false and align with Russian propaganda. The historical record clearly shows that Russia launched the war on February 24, 2022, when it invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. These mischaracterizations raise concerns about potential U.S. foreign policy implications.
