Shapiro: Trump Is Lying About Ukraine Starting War

“So here’s President Trump saying some stuff about Ukraine. [Plays clip.] I have some moral objections to the stuff that he is saying about Ukraine here because I don’t think that it is true. 

“So for example, at one point during this press conference, he made the signally false statement that Ukraine started the war. This is not true. Ukraine absolutely did not start the war. 

“You can argue with Ukrainian policy toward both Europe and Russia over the period 2013 to 2022. But Russia invaded a sovereign country and tried to take Kyiv and has killed tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people. 

“Here’s President Trump suggesting sort of the opposite that somehow Ukraine is the problem here.” – Ben Shapiro, on today’s podcast.
