In spite of Trump's long, adoring gaze into Putin's cold snake eyes, Putin would have done whatever he felt like doing, wherevever and whenever.

Russia's politics are entirely internal, many Russians still don't have any facts about Putin's attack on Ukraine. Those that do know have to wade through the propaganda that it's a 'de-Nazification'.

  • A Newsmax host asked Zelenskyy if Russia's invasion may have been prevented with Trump as president.
  • Zelenskyy said it was not important which party was in power in the US.
  • He told the host, Rob Schmitt, "I am sorry if I'll be saying something that you don't like."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shut down a Newsmax interviewer who prompted him to say that there would be no war in Ukraine if former President Donald Trump were still the US president.

Zelenskyy was interviewed by Rob Schmitt, a Newsmax anchor, in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, on Tuesday about Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Schmitt asked Zelenskyy: "Do you think that different American leadership, do you think that different Western leadership, may have prevented this aggression?

"There are many Americans that believe that if somebody like Donald Trump was still in the White House that this invasion would not have happened. What is your position?"

Zelenskyy responded by saying that he was grateful for the help given by US President Joe Biden, and that the most important thing for Ukraine is support from the American public, regardless of which party is in power. 

"I am sorry if I'll be saying something that you don't like, but for us as the country in war, it doesn't matter whether it's Democrats or Republicans. It's the people of the United States that support us," he said.

Zelenskyy later added: "I don't know what would happen if the president, if Donald Trump would be the president of the United States for this situation, so I cannot predict what would happen."

Zelenskyy said that it was important that US institutions such as Congress work the same regardless of who is in power, to keep "the values of the United States."

Trump has previously said that him being in power would have prevented Russia from invading.

He said in a statement on February 24, the day Russia invaded, "If I were in Office, this deadly Ukraine situation would never have happened!"

Trump and Zelenskyy have a significant political backstory, and the question of US support led to Trump's first impeachment.
