Trump says Ukraine started the war


The day after 35 were killed and 117 injured in Sumi by a Russian missile, which Trump said was a “mistake”, Trump says Ukraine started the war.

“You don’t start a war against someone 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles,” he told reporters at the White House, also blaming former US President Joe Biden for the conflict.

This is a gross misrepresentation of reality and an insult to Ukraine and Ukrainians. Imagine a bomb just dropped on your street killing 35 and injuring 117, from an aggressor that started the war by invading the US. And then the president of China, brokering a peace deal said it was you that started it?
