Footage of former President Donald Trump suggesting to the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he get together with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the no-nonsense conversation recently surfaced. The president even then knew of the strained relationship between Moscow and Kyiv, which was evident then.
Zelensky Seemed Perturbed by Trump's Remarks
CNN host Kate Bolduan remarked about the video way back in 2019, where the president told the Ukrainian leader to resolve the problem with his Russian counterpart.
In the video, Trump said they should talk it out together and resolve the problems between Kyiv and Moscow. Trying to impress on they can do it and no else, cited Stars Post.
He encourages the other leader that the other is trying to do just that. In the conversation between the two leaders, she focused on the face of Zelensky as his expressions changed, which meant something was on his mind, reported the Express UK.
In the conversation, the ex-president spoke but did not chastise, saying that Crimea was lost to Russia but stressed that it was not under the Trump administration.
Zelensky cut in and remarked that the current administration should help them. The US leader answered that it's correct and he can. Although agreeing, that followed with a flat answer, adding that it was Barrack Obama's time when Ukraine lost Crimea to Russia.
Not trying to sound uncaring, former President Donald Trump said it should not have happened, but it was in another Democratic administration that lost Crimea.
Then the critique followed, stating the Obama administration mishandled the Crimea invasion, but it was too long ago. After the 2019 summit between the two presidents, Mr. Zelensky has not hammered out an agreement until the February 24 invasion. Russia and Ukraine conflict as well after 2019.
When Moscow got evidence of an operation against the Donbas headed by Neo-Nazis and Supremacists, President Vladimir Putin approved an operation to save DPR and LPR from genocide. The ex-comic-turned-leader has been making the rounds in the European Union and western allies of NATO, asking for help in a war Ukraine may have stumbled itself into.
US President Joe Biden, Trump's successor, has thrown his support for a relieved Ukrainian leader. Via support from Washington has sent lethal aid to stop Russia in its Ukrainian offensive, adding up the ante dangerously.
US Supplies Zelensky With More Weapons
More arms have been sent worth $800m in the latest arms deal brokered by the US in a proxy war against the Russian army.
The Pentagon spokesman Jack Kirby remarked the Ukraine military is not familiar with US howitzers. He added that sending them the artillery would not take long to train the Ukrainians on how to use them; since artillery is no different from any other used by armies. It is the same system, so it is not a complex learning curve. This military hardware is what they will need in the Donbas, just like Russian systems.
Trump told Zelensky to fix the problem with Putin to avoid what is happening now, pointing out to the Ukrainians that it was not under his administration that they lost Crimea.
