US President Donald Trump criticized his predecessor, Joe Biden, for delaying permission for Ukraine to use American weapons deep inside Russia, according to Trump's statement on TruthSocial.
"It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invaders country. It’s like a great team in sports that has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed to play offense. There is no chance of winning!" Trump noted.
Likewise, according to the US leader, the same applies to Ukraine and Russia.
"Crooked and grossly incompetent Joe Biden would not let Ukraine FIGHT BACK, only DEFEND. How did that work out? Regardless, this is a war that would have NEVER happened if I were President - ZERO CHANCE. Interesting times ahead!!!" the US President emphasized.
What Trump said about strikes on Russian territory
Earlier, the Financial Times reported that during talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, US President Donald Trump allegedly encouraged Ukraine to step up strikes on Russian territory and asked whether Kyiv could strike Moscow. Zelenskyy reportedly told Trump that such strikes would be possible if the right weapons were available.
Later, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified that the US leader simply asked a question and did not call for killings. She stressed that Trump is working to stop deaths in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Trump himself has said Ukraine should not strike Moscow.
