- description: Donald Trump has blamed Ukraine for Russia’s invasion of its neighbour. Speaking after talks between US and Russia on ending the war, the US President told Ukraine: “You should have never started it, you could have made a deal … I could have made a deal that would have given them almost all of the land.” Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 after issuing demands that it should never join the NATO alliance, starting a war that has caused hundreds of thousands of military and civilian casualties. Mr Trump comments came after senior US and Russian diplomats met in Saudi Arabia for the first time in many years, to discuss ending the war. Ukraine and European nations were not represented at the talks. The US and Russia agreed to press ahead with negotiations to end the conflict. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said efforts to end the war must be "fair" and involve European countries including Turkey.
