Putin Claims Ukraine Crisis Could Have Been Avoided if Trump's 2020 Victory Had Not Been 'Stolen'; Expresses Readiness for Negotiations
Jan 24, 2025, 03:20 PM
On January 24, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed in an interview with RT that the Ukraine crisis might have been avoided if former U.S. President Donald Trump had remained in office after the 2020 election, which he described as 'stolen' from Trump. Putin stated, "If his victory wasn't stolen from him in 2020, maybe the Ukrainian crisis that arose in 2022 would have never happened." He also expressed readiness for negotiations to resolve the situation. It should be noted that the 2020 U.S. presidential election results were certified, and multiple investigations found no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
