Trump states the Russo-Ukrainian war is “Biden’s war, not mine.”
In a Truth Social post, the US President claims it never would have happened under his watch.
He blamed both Zelenskyy and Biden for allowing the “travesty to begin” while insisting he’s now “working diligently” to end the fighting.
Earlier, Trump referred to Zelenskyy as a “dictator without elections” and suggested that Russia’s April 13 deadly strike on civilians in Sumy was a “mistake.”

Trump blames Zelensky for Ukraine war
Donald Trump has blamed Volodymyr Zelensky for “allowing” the war with Russia to begin in a fresh swipe at the Ukrainian president.
Mr Trump said his Ukrainian counterpart and Joe Biden, the former US president, “did an absolutely horrible job” of preventing the conflict between Kyiv and Moscow and called for an end to the war “fast”.
The US president told his followers on Truth Social: “President Zelenskyy and Crooked Joe Biden did an absolutely horrible job in allowing this travesty to begin. There were so many ways of preventing it from ever starting. But that is the past. Now we have to get it to STOP, AND FAST.”
His comments come a month after the two leaders clashed in a televised shouting match in the Oval Office.
The extraordinary row left the prospects of a peace deal hanging by a thread after Mr Trump told Mr Zelensky to “come back when you’re ready for peace” and threatened to withdraw US military aid unless Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire.
Relations have since improved, but overnight Mr Trump appeared to defend Vladimir Putin for a Russian missile strike on the city of Sumy, which killed 34 people and injured 100 more, saying he believed it was a “mistake”.
‘Putin is no angel’, says Trump
Donald Trump said Vladimir Putin was “not an angel” for the part he has played in Russia’s war with Ukraine but stressed the invasion would never have happened under his leadership.
He told reporters in the Oval Office: “You take a look at Putin. I’m not saying anybody’s an angel. But I will tell you I went four years and it wasn’t even a question, he would never – and I told him, don’t do it, you’re not going to do it.
And it [Ukraine] was the apple of his eye but there was no way that he would have done it.”
He continued: “That’s a war that should never have been allowed to start. Biden could have stopped it and Zelensky could have stopped it and Putin should never have started it. Everybody’s to blame.”
Trump: ‘Ukraine started war against country 20 times its size’
Donald Trump has questioned Volodymyr Zelensky’s competency, suggesting Ukraine started a war against Russia “that’s 20 times” its size.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, he said: “The mistake was letting the war happen, if Biden were competent, and if Zelensky were competent, and I don’t know that he is, we had a rough session with this guy [Zelensky].
“He just kept asking for more and more that war should have never been allowed to happen. That war, I went four years and Putin wouldn’t even bring it up. And as soon as the election was rigged, and I wasn’t here, that war started. There was no way that war should have been allowed to happen, and Biden should have stopped it.”
Asked if he spoke to the Ukrainian about his offer to purchase more Patriot missiles, he added: “Listen, when you start a war, you got to know that you can win the war, right? You don’t start a war against somebody that’s 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles.”
Ukraine ‘ready to buy 10 Patriot systems from US’
Ukraine is prepared to buy 10 US-made Patriot air defence systems at a cost of $15 billion (£11.34 billion), Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
The Ukrainian president told CBS he first discussed the offer with the Biden administration before raising it again with Donald Trump in the hopes the systems could provide an initial line of defence against Russian drone and missile attacks.
Mr Zelensky said: “There is the Patriot system, and you have many of them. You also have production capacity. There are a few steps to protect Ukraine.”
He added: “That’s $15 billion. We are ready to pay it. We will find the money and pay for everything.”
Four killed in Kharkiv
On the battlefront, Russian attacks on the Kharkiv region of east Ukraine killed four residents on Monday, local officials said.
Moscow’s forces have gained ground in the Kharkiv region, home to Ukraine’s second largest city, which was also targeted in overnight Russian drone attacks.
The head of the region said Russian forces had shelled the town of Kupiansk, a rail hub that was captured by Russian forces in 2022 and then liberated.
Governor Oleg Synegubov said: “A 68-year-old man and a 61-year-old woman died as a result of artillery shelling,”
He added in a social media post that a 77-year-old woman and a 52-year-old man were also killed by Russian rockets.
Lies, lies, lies from Krasnov.
The day after a shatteringly evil attack on innocent adults and children, DJT chooses to claim it was a mistake, but then compounds that lie with another even more terrible lie; that Biden and Zel started this genocide.
Trump has packed his team with sycophantic conspiracy theorists/russia propagandists who will never question his lies and appalling insults of the beleaguered leader of a country suffering unimaginable agony.
This guy is the most self centred narcissist I have ever seen in my life. His arrogance is beyond belief by claiming he could have stopped this war. The truth is, he doesn’t want to end this war until he can make money out of it, by forcing Ukraine to capitulate.
Zel has said he will pay for 10 Patriot systems at a cost of $15 billion.
That is designed to appeal to Krasnov’s transactional nature.
But will his controller countenance it?
My guess is no.
Trump: Less money to NATO, UN and Foreign Affairs Departement till 50%!
Clearly Krasnov chose to ignore Mark Burns, his “spiritual advisor.”
Mr Burns now to get shitcanned?
I’m posting a video soon which discusses why Trump is like he is. The main claim is he can’t admit Putler started this war because that would mean him admitting he was wrong.
You could go to a state penitentiary, and randomly choose a convict to be our president, and he would probably be more virtuous and intelligent than Trump. Trump is the lowest form of scum that has ever slithered into the White House.
