Putin: If Trump were president, the war in Ukraine could have been avoided

Putin: If Trump were the US President, there would be no war in Ukraine, and I hope the current war ends as soon as possible!

Russian President Putin stated that if Trump had become the US President in 2022, Russia would not have gone to war with Ukraine.

"I remember in 2022, during my last contact with the previous US government, I tried to persuade my former American colleague Joe that we did not need to go into an offensive, which could result in serious consequences in the form of hostile actions. At that time, he directly said it was a big mistake! Today, we hear President Trump say, 'If I were president, there would be no war.' I think this is indeed true, and I confirm this."

Putin also said that he hopes the conflict in Ukraine can end as soon as possible: "In general, we have established a very good business and trust relationship with President Trump. I have every reason to believe that by following this path, we can end the Ukraine conflict as soon as possible."
