The former US leader could have prevented the hostilities “if he had any brain,” the current president has said.
Former US President Donald Trump argues that Joe Biden is responsible for the escalation of the Ukraine crisis into hostilities between Moscow and Kyiv. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump claimed that had he won the 2020 election, the US would not be facing the Ukraine conflict or the crisis in the Middle East, nor would it have experienced what he described as an “embarrassing” withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Trump characterized the Russia-Ukraine conflict as “Biden’s war,” adding, “This is not my war. I’ve been here for a very short period of time... He gave them billions and billions of dollars. He should have never allowed – If he had any brain, which he didn’t have and doesn’t have… – that war to start.”
He also suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin “had so little respect for Biden that he started it for that reason,” emphasizing that Putin “didn't get along very well with [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky or anybody else.” Trump lamented the loss of life in the conflict, noting, “And now you have millions of dead people, and those people – every one of them – should be alive right now.”
In response, the US president has stated that resolving the conflict remains a top priority, while acknowledging the complexities involved, labeling it as “a deeply seated war.”
Under Biden's administration, the US has provided approximately $175 billion in aid to Ukraine, which includes advanced weaponry, ammunition, and direct financial assistance. Biden has pledged ongoing support for Ukraine “for as long as it takes” and has refrained from engaging in direct high-level discussions with the Kremlin.
In contrast, Trump has initiated discussions with Moscow since returning to office in January. Recently, Russian and US delegations have participated in several high-level talks aimed at resolving the Ukraine conflict and improving bilateral relations.
While Russia has welcomed this renewed dialogue and characterized the discussions as productive, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov cautioned that addressing longstanding issues in US-Russia relations will require time.
Peskov remarked, “We are now walking down this road together, very patiently. We have many more steps to take, but one just needs to understand how serious the damage is that was done to bilateral Russia-US relations under the previous administration. Painstaking work is now being done to eliminate these consequences.”
