Trump blames Zelensky for Ukraine war

US President Donald Trump has blamed Volodymyr Zelensky for starting the war with Russia.

The US president made the blame a day after a massive Russian attack killed 35 people and injured 117 others in Ukraine.
The US president said the Ukrainian leader shared the blame with Russian President Vladimir Putin for ‘millions of people dead’ in the Ukraine war. 

“You don't start a war against someone 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles,” he told reporters at the White House, also blaming former US President Joe Biden for the conflict.

The Republican told reporters that there were ‘millions of people dead because of three people.’

“Let's say Putin number one, but let's say Biden, who had no idea what the hell he was doing, number two, and Zelensky,” Trump said during a meeting with the visiting president of El Salvador.

Trump then doubled down on his attack on Zelensky.

“He's always looking to purchase missiles,” he said dismissively of the Ukrainian leader's attempts to maintain his country's defense against the Russian invasion.
