Trump came up with a bizarre explanation for the Russian fiasco in Ukraine. He pointed to the culprit
Donald Trump attributed Russia's failure to capture Kyiv in 2022 to a single general's mistake, claiming that a wrong turn left tanks stuck in mud. He urged Ukrainian President Zelensky to negotiate with Moscow, warning that failure to do so would lead to dire consequences. Trump stated that a thousand Russian tanks could have reached Kyiv quickly, potentially ending the war in a day. He emphasized his support for Ukraine and criticized the ongoing conflict, suggesting personal animosity between Putin and Zelensky hinders peace talks. Meanwhile, Trump's envoy was in Oslo discussing a framework for ending the conflict, with Zelensky proposing a three-way negotiation involving Trump and Putin.
