Donald Trump stated during the CNN Presidential debate in Atlanta that the conditions set forth by Russian President Vladimir Putin to end Russia’s war in Ukraine are “not acceptable.”
Putin has stipulated that Russia would cease its military actions in Ukraine only if Kyiv surrenders the four regions claimed by Moscow and declares it won’t join NATO.
“This is a war that never should have started,” said Trump. “If we had a leader in this war, he led everybody along. He’s given $200 billion now or more to Ukraine. He’s given $200 billion. That’s a lot of money. I don’t think there’s ever been anything like it. Every time that Zelenskyy comes to this country, he walks away with $60 billion dollars, he’s the greatest salesman ever,” added Trump.
Trump said that he will end the war in Ukraine as soon as he gets elected.
“I will have that war settled between Putin and Zelenskyy as president-elect before I take office on January 20th. I’ll have that war settled,” Trump pledged. “People being killed so needlessly, so stupidly, and I will get it settled and I’ll get it settled fast before I take office.”
