Former Vice President Mike Pence has denounced his former boss President Trump for recent claims that Ukraine had begun a war with Russia.

Russia began a full-scale invasion of its neighbors in February 2022. The invasion occurred eight years after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
On Tuesday, Trump also reiterated that he could build a peace deal. He claimed it was constantly repeated during the 2024 White House campaign.
“You should have finished it in three years. You should have never started it. You could have made a deal.

“But they chose not to do that,” Trump added.
Zelensky told reporters Wednesday that Trump lives in a “disinformation space” in Russia.
“Unfortunately, President Trump, I think he has great respect for us as the leader of the country we respect so much, and unfortunately, the American people who have always supported us. I have great respect for living in this disinformation field,” Zelensky said Wednesday.
Pence, whose ties with Trump worsened after the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, also criticized Trump in Ukraine earlier this month, and if the US abandons it, Kiev will be under Russian control. He warned that it could be possible.
“Mr. Ukrainian president will “someday become Russian” if the US abandons them. [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's brutal invasion. As you said, “When America is strong, the world is in peace.” Standing firmly,” Pence wrote.
“If Ukraine falls, it will only be a matter of time until Russia invades NATO's allies.
Trump doubled his jabs towards Zelensky and accused him of using Ukraine to do “awful job” as the leader of a war-torn country.
“Think about it. The modestly successful comedian Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke to the United States of America to spend $350 billion and it had to start to enter a war that could not be won, but he The US and 'Trump', a war without him, can never be resolved,” the president said in the Society of Truth.
