I am very concerned about what Putin will do next.

We've explained very clearly what our plan is here, which is, we want to get the Russians to the negotiating table.

Some want to whitewash the truth, but we cannot ignore the truth. Russia is at fault for this war.

Make a deal with Russia or we are out.

I VEHEMENTLY DISAGREE with standing with RUSSIA! I am still standing with Ukraine, President Zelenskyy, & the Ukrainian People! FULL STOP!

If you take Trump's word on that, you probably believe that Ukraine started the war, not Russia.

They're dying, Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. And I'll have that done - I'll have that done in 24 hours.

Anything that feeds into Putin’s hands is a disaster.

I don’t believe for a second Russia is going to advance a war in any other country right now.

I also believe, through bitter experience, that Vladimir Putin is a gangster.

Putin is not a good guy.

I've spoken to President Putin, and I think that thing is going to end. It's got to end.

Ukraine did not invade Russia. Russia invaded Ukraine.

That invasion was the responsibility of one human being on the face of this planet. It was Vladimir Putin.

Ukraine started the war with Russia.

Mr. President, Ukraine will only ‘be Russian someday’ if the United States abandons them to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s brutal invasion.

exactly what Putin wants.

If Ukraine falls, it will only be a matter of time until Russia invades a NATO ally our troops will be required to defend.
