Why does Trump believe the conflict in Ukraine could have been avoided?

According to Trump, the conflict in Ukraine could have been prevented through stronger leadership. He asserts that when he left office, there was 'no chance this could have happened,' attributing the war to 'incompetent leadership at many different levels' in the Biden administration. Trump emphasizes that during his four-year term, this situation never occurred and 'was never going to happen.' He characterizes Biden's handling of Ukraine as 'bad' and 'pathetic,' suggesting that more effective diplomatic engagement could have prevented the devastating consequences now seen in Ukraine's cities and population.
