United States President, Donald Trump has once again boasted that Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 “would never have happened” under his watch.
He made this known during a gaggle on Air Force One on Sunday evening while addressing reporters.
Recall that Joe Biden was US President when Russian President, Vladimir Putin announced a full-scale military operation in Ukraine back in February, 2022.
When asked during the gaggle if he would consider lifting the intel pause on Ukraine, Trump said the country at war must first show seriousness.
He also noted that hundreds of people died in cities in Ukraine in the past one week.

Speaking during the press briefing, Trump said, “We want to do anything we can to get Ukraine to be serious about getting something done.
“I will think right now they haven’t, but I think they will be, and I think it’s going to become evident over the next two or three days.
“This week, hundreds of people died in cities in Ukraine, and we got to get it stopped. It would have never happened if I was president.”
