Overview
- Trump published a more than 200-word post on Sunday criticizing Ukrainian leaders and U.S. allies over the handling of the Russia-Ukraine war.
- He argued the war would not have occurred with “strong and proper” U.S. and Ukrainian leadership and placed responsibility on President Joe Biden.
- He claimed Kyiv has shown “zero gratitude,” said European countries keep buying Russian oil, and asserted the U.S. sells “massive” amounts of weapons to NATO for Ukraine.
- He repeated baseless allegations that the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen,” using that claim to support his view of why the war happened.
- Coverage also cites disputed and unverified reports that Sen. Marco Rubio circulated Russia-written documents to Ukrainian officials as a supposed U.S. peace proposal.
