Trump accuses ukraine of Ingratitude Amidst Peace Negotiations
Geneva, Switzerland – Former President Donald Trump criticized Ukraine’s “leadership” on Sunday, alleging a lack of thankfulness for U.S. support, as American delegates engage in negotiations with Ukraine and European nations in geneva aimed at ending the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Trump voiced his concerns in a post on Truth Social, writing in all caps, “The Ukrainian ‘leadership’ has shown no appreciation for our efforts.”
He described the war as “violent” and “terrible,” reiterating his claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine had he been president. According too Trump, putin saw President Joe Biden’s election as an opportunity to act.
The conflict, which began three years and nine months ago, has seen Ukraine defend itself with considerable military and financial aid from the United States and western countries, despite initial Russian expectations of a swift victory.
Trump stated he “inherited a war that should never have happened,” calling it a loss for all involved,”especially the millions who died needlessly.” He also criticized the Biden management’s aid policy, claiming “crooked Joe (Biden) was giving away everything for free, including big money,” while noting continued U.S. arms sales to NATO allies for use in Ukraine.
He further criticized Europe for “continuing to buy oil from Russia.”
the Geneva negotiations center around a U.S.-proposed peace plan, developed after consultations with russian officials. The plan reportedly includes territorial concessions from Ukraine, a limit of 600,000 soldiers in the Ukrainian army, and a commitment not to join NATO. Representatives from Ukraine, major European countries, Canada, and Japan are seeking modifications to the proposal.
