Former President Donald Trump credited Putin’s “savvy” argument of invading parts of Ukraine soil, calling the Russian President “a genius.”

“Here’s a guy that says, you know, ‘I’m gonna declare a big portion of Ukraine independent.’ He used the word ‘independent,’ ‘and we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace.’ You gotta say that’s pretty savvy,” Trump said.

    “I know that he always wanted Ukraine. I used to talk to him about it. I said you can’t do it, you’re not gonna do it. But I could see that he wanted it. I used to ask him, we used to talk about it at length.”

    The Former President also mocked the Biden administration for sending a few troops to the area, calling it “a joke” compared to the Russian presence in Ukraine, adding that if he was still in office, the recent developments “never would have happened.”
