Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in multiple public remarks and a joint press conference with U.S. President Donald Trump that the war in Ukraine would not have occurred if Trump had been president in 2022. Putin affirmed his agreement with Trump's claim that his presidency would have prevented the conflict. These comments were made during and after talks between the two leaders. However, some observers have noted that Trump did not take action to pressure Putin to stop the invasion once it began, raising concerns that Trump might later pressure Ukraine to concede in the conflict.
