Trump calls Ukraine dead and urges concessions before 2022 war
Former president Donald Trump described Ukraine as dead and demolished while arguing Kyiv should have made concessions to Vladimir Putin before Russia's 2022 invasion. He questions how far he would go in any future negotiation and repeats claims Russia would not have invaded under his presidency. Putin, in a separate note, warned that any conventional attack on Russia backed by a nuclear power would be treated as a joint attack, loosening the nuclear-use threshold as a deterrent against longer-range strikes.
