Former President Donald Trump made headlines on February 18, 2025, with his controversial comments regarding Ukraine, stating that the country ‘should never have started’ the conflict with Russia. During an interview, Trump emphasized that the ongoing war was a mistake and criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his leadership. Trump expressed his belief that Zelensky has been a divisive figure and remarked, ‘Zelensky could have done a better job, he should have negotiated and stopped the war before it got out of hand.’ Trump’s statements come amidst increasing tensions and calls for diplomatic resolutions to the conflict. He added that the U.S. needs to focus on its own issues rather than getting involved in Ukraine’s war. These remarks follow a series of statements by Trump aiming to redefine U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding its stance on Russia and Ukraine.
