Trump suggests Ukraine shouldn't have fought back against Russia

President Donald Trump suggested in an interview that aired Thursday night that Ukraine should not have fought when Russia invaded it.

"Zelenskyy was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more powerful," Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "He shouldn’t have done that, because we could have made a deal."

Trump has argued that Zelenskyy should have made a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to avoid the war, a stance he reiterated in the Fox News interview.

"I could have made that deal so easily, and Zelenskyy decided that 'I want to fight,'" Trump said.
