Trump has criticized the amount of aid for Ukraine and claims he will end the war in 24 hours, though he hasn’t elaborated how. Many Ukrainians do not trust Trump because of his professed admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who wants to occupy Ukraine.
Trump has blamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, not Putin, for starting the war. Trump was also impeached in 2019 for pressing Zelenskyy to open criminal investigations into Joe Biden and his son Hunter for business dealings in Ukraine.
