‘You should have never started it’: Trump suggests Ukraine to blame for war
US president says he will ‘probably’ meet Russian President Vladimir Putin this month. United States President Donald Trump has said he will “probably” meet Russian President Vladimir Putin this month while launching a broadside effectively accusing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of being to blame for Moscow’s invasion. “Yeah, I would say that, you know, when you want a seat at the table… Wouldn’t the people of Ukraine have to say like, ‘It’s been a long time since we’ve had an election?’” Trump said. “That’s not a Russia thing, that’s something coming from me, and coming from many other countries also.” Trump’s comments came after Zelenskyy said earlier that Kyiv wanted to ensure Washington and Moscow would not decide any terms of a deal “behind our backs”. United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer said this week that he would be willing to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, while French President Emmanuel Macron indicated he would consider sending a limited number of troops to areas “outside any conflict zone”.
