What controversial claims did President Trump make about Ukraine's President Zelensky and the war in Ukraine?
President Trump falsely claimed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky could have prevented the war with Russia three years ago. This statement contradicts the widely acknowledged fact that the conflict began with Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Trump made these controversial remarks at his Mar-a-Lago resort when asked specifically about Ukraine. These comments came on the same day that U.S. and Russian officials were meeting to discuss Ukraine's future, notably without Ukrainian representation at the table. Trump's rhetoric undermines the international understanding of Russia's responsibility for initiating the conflict.
