Trump says Putin’s multi-front invasion in Ukraine could lead to the next world war

ORLANDO, Fla. — Former President Trump warned that Russia’s multi-front invasion in Ukraine could lead to “world war” and told Fox News Digital that the Biden administration is going to have to “do a lot more than just sanctions” to stop Russian President Vladimir Putin.

During an exclusive one-on-one interview with Fox News Digital on the sidelines of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday, the former president said Russia’s war on Ukraine “never should have happened.”

“It is a horrible thing. It would never have happened under any circumstance, and it is what it is,” Trump said. “But there’s great bravery being shown by Ukrainians, and I think they’re doing one hell of a job—much more so than anybody would have thought possible.”

When asked if he had a message to Putin, the president said: “I have no message.”

“I just think it’s a shame that this is going on. It’s something that should not be going on,” Trump said.

“Thousands of people, I mean, this can lead to much bigger than this one area,” Trump warned. “This could lead to a lot of other countries and can lead to world war.”

Trump said “you never know how it starts, in a world war.”

“You never think a war is going to come out of it,” he continued. “All of a sudden, you end up in a world war.”

He added: “This is a very dangerous period for our nation, for the country.”
