What is Professor Timothy Snyder's critique of Donald Trump's stance on the Ukraine conflict?

Professor Snyder condemns Trump's narrative that blames Ukraine for the Russian invasion, calling this stance 'ghastly.' Trump's comments suggesting Ukraine 'should have never started' the war fundamentally misrepresent the reality that Russia is the aggressor, not Ukraine. Snyder criticizes Trump's approach of wanting to negotiate without Ukraine's involvement, undermining the nation's sovereignty and resilience while ignoring international law. This perspective dangerously inverts victim and aggressor, suggesting Ukraine should have capitulated rather than defended itself against invasion.
