Putin backs Trump claim that Ukraine war wouldn’t happen if he were president

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he agreed with Donald Trump’s claim that the war in Ukraine had not started even if he did not lose the 2020 elections and was working as a president when the massacre began, instead of former President Joe Biden.

“I can confirm this,” Putin said at the end of the tail of Conferece, which happened on Friday evening after he met the couple at the top at the Elmendorf-Richardson base in Anchorage, Alaska.

Trump has confirmed several times on the campaign’s path, and he continued to say after he recovered the White House. Trump faced a retreat from the claim, as well as in allegations that Ukraine incites the beginning of the war and the Biden administration failed to do things that he could have foiled from the beginning in the first place.

“I would like to add something else,” Putin said, as he made the head of the state notes to the press, according to the translation of the speech of the Russian President. “I would like to remind you that in 2022, during the last contact with a previous administration, I tried to persuade my former American colleague that the situation should not be brought to the point of return when it comes to hostility, and I said this completely directly at the time, and you will confirm this completely.

Earlier in his speech, Putin regretted that bilateral relations between the United States and Russia, before Trump, “fell to the lowest point since the Cold War”, highlighted the fact that there have been no summit players between the United States and Russia over the past four years.

Putin said: “This does not benefit from our provinces and the world as a whole,” adding that it was clear that this is sooner or later. [U.S. and Russia] I had to adjust the situation to move from the confrontation to the dialogue. “

Meanwhile, Putin praised Trump for “his endeavor to reach the essence of the matter and understand this date,” referring to the background surrounding the war. He called the “precious” commitment.

The Russian president also noted during his speech that he hoped that this new chapter of foreign diplomacy will help us during Trump’s re -building and enhance the beneficial and equal relations in this new stage, even during the most difficult circumstances.

Putin said on Friday: “In general, President Trump built a very good connection that resembles business and confidently, and they have all the reasons for the belief that moving in this path can reach the end of the conflict in Ukraine,” Putin said on Friday.
