Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pointed to President Donald Trump's first term in response to the latter's claim that he could end Russia's war in a day, should he win his reelection bid.
While Russian troops did not embark on their full-fledged invasion of Ukraine until Ukraine 2022, more than a year after Trump left office, Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 — before Trump's term — with fighting occurring since then in the eastern Ukrainian region known as the Donbas.“It seems to me that the sole desire to bring the war to an end is beautiful," he told ABC's Martha Raddatz in an interview that aired on Sunday.
“If we are talking about ending the war at the cost of Ukraine — in other words, to make us give up our territories, well — I think, in this way, [Joe] Biden could have brought it to an end even in five minutes, but we would not agree,” Zelensky said.
