In an interview, the leader of Ukraine said that Donald Trump had plenty of time to figure out what Putin was really like.
President Volodymyr Zelesnkyy said that the former US President had enough time to understand who Putin was.
Even after Russian tanks rolled onto Ukrainian lands on February 24, Trump still expressed admiration for Putin.
Hours before the invasion, Trump bragged that he had taken over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. According to the footage taken at Mar-a-Lago, it's pretty smart.
Even after the reality of the invasion became clear, Trump continued to praise and condemn the war.
At a Georgia rally in March, Trump called the invasion a mistake, but noted his admiration for authoritarian leaders like Putin.
Zelenskyy said during an interview that it was not possible to not recognize that Trump was the opponent to your own people.
You need to understand who Putin is, what he is doing, and what steps he will take to get there.
He said that the war has no limitations. He probably wanted to promote his domestic policy.
The GOP's hard right has tended to side with Putin, despite the fact that Congress has voted multiple times in favor of billion-dollar military packages for Ukraine.
According to Insider's Charles Davis, the blame for Putin's war is more comfortable with Biden than with the Russian leader.
He told the CPAC in August that President Putin made his decision after watching the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
