- US President Donald Trump has reiterated the false claim that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy initiated the war with Russia.
- He stated that Zelenskyy is always looking to buy missiles and that one must know they can win before starting a war.
- Trump has previously exonerated Russia from blame while accusing Zelenskyy, Joe Biden, and NATO of instigating the conflict.
- Additionally, Trump has made inaccurate claims about US aid to Ukraine and labeled Zelenskyy as a 'dictator,' indicating a desire for regime change.
He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles.— US President Donald Trump made this statement during a press interaction at the White House.
