Donald Trump had a notoriously close relationship with Vladimir Putin during his time in office as US president, with the American even labelling the Russian president as a friend, however he now has revealed just why Putin invaded Ukraine.
Trump has been roundly criticised for his public admiration of Putin, but he really doesn’t seem to mind as long as his own base continues to laud his every move.
“He wants to rebuild the Soviet Union,” Trump told Jeanine Pirro in a radio interview with Fox News.
“They had a country, you could see it was a country where there was a lot of love and, you know, we’re doing it because someone wants to make their country bigger or wants to rebuild back to the way it used to be when it wasn’t really working too well.”
Trump continued to describe Putin as a person with a big ego, who would do ‘unspeakable things’ if he continues to feel cornered by Ukrainian resistance and Western sanctions.
