President Donald Trump suggested that Ukraine should have opted not to fight back against Russia's invasion. In a Fox News interview that aired Thursday, Trump told Sean Hannity that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's decision to fight when Russia invaded in 2022 was a mistake. Trump, who met Zelensky in Paris in December, conceded that Russian president Vladimir Putin "shouldn't have done it," but criticized his Ukrainian counterpart and said: "Zelensky... shouldn't have allowed this to happen either. He's no angel." "Zelensky was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more powerful," Trump told Hannity. "He shouldn't have done that, because we could have made a deal." Trump has long touted a mutually beneficial deal and even boasted that he would end the conflict within hours of taking back the Oval Office.
