Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed Friday that “the crisis in Ukraine ” might have been prevented if Donald Trump was in power at the time, saying he was ready to talk with the new US president about the conflict. Trump has long claimed that the war in Ukraine would not have happened under his watch, but Friday marked the first time Putin suggested the same thing – while also repeating Trump’s false claim that the 2020 US election was “stolen”.
