What is the historical truth about the war in Ukraine that contradicts former President Trump's claims?

Russia definitively invaded Ukraine nearly three years ago, contrary to claims blaming Ukraine for the conflict. As Chief National Affairs Correspondent Jeff Zeleny clarifies, this invasion was witnessed by the international community, establishing clear historical facts about the aggressor in this war. Zeleny also notes that Russia's incursion into Ukraine was already spreading during Trump's first administration. Despite this growing threat, the American president at that time did not take decisive action to halt Russia's advances, providing important context about the conflict's longer history and leadership responses.
