US President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday expressed sympathy for Russia's opposition to Ukraine's accession to NATO.

Addressing a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump also criticized outgoing Democratic President Joe Biden of allegedly altering the US stance on Ukraine's NATO hip.

"A big part of the problem was, Russia - for many, many years, long before Putin - said, 'You could never have NATO involved with Ukraine.' Now, they've said that. That's been, like, written in stone.

"And somewhere along the line Biden said, 'No. They should be able to NATO.' Well, then Russia has somebody right on their doorstep, and I could understand their feelings about that," Trump said.

Russia has cited NATO's expansion towards its borders as a key reason to start its "special military operation” in Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.

In September 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a surprise bid for fast-track hip of the military alliance.

NATO have ed Ukraine's eventual hip, but the country has never been extended an invitation.

Trump, who has questioned US aid to Ukraine, said on the campaign trail he could solve the war in Ukraine quickly.

Asked if he could resolve the war within six months, Trump responded: "I hope to have six months. No, I would think, I hope long before six months."

He added: "Russia is losing a lot of young people, and so is Ukraine, and it should have never been started."

Trump also expressed frustration over not being able to meet Putin before taking office on Jan. 20, calling such a meeting inappropriate without elaborating further.

"I know that Putin would like to meet," he said. "I don't think it's appropriate that I meet until after the 20th, which I hate, because, you know, every day many, many young people are being killed."

He's a friend of Putin, Americans voted for an idiot the second time, let the drama continue


I people calling me western asslicker for opposing the invasion of Ukraine, the same people later labelled me a terrorist sympathizer for speaking out against the genocide in Gaza which has claimed over 45,000 lives, now they have turned around again to this man, calling me a Muslim and gay for opposing trump and his gang of criminals

It's always good to stand for the truth and what is right.

I want Russia-Ukraine war to end as soon as possible, Putin should withdraw his troops from Ukraine and Ukraine on the other hand should stay away from NATO

Whichever way you look at it, such statement should not come from American president, he's sending a wrong message to US allies

What do you have to say now

The Russia-Ukraine war is one war where I can say with confidence that BOTH sides are right.

Ukraine is right to want to protect themselves from Russia and Putin by ing NATO.

Putin is right for NOT wanting anymore NATO bases surrounding his country.

I sympathise with BOTH sides and think both sides are waging a JUST war.

Most people who Ukraine do so because Ukraine is the clear UNDERDOG while Russia is the POWERFUL aggressor.

Ukraine will forever REGRET the decision to RELINQUISH their Nuclear Warheads.

Russia are actually on the looser end

The best is still Donald Trump. Love him to pieces.

Brainless

The hypocrisy of the world is what is fanning the war. The West including America Israel occupation of Palestine but oppose Russia annexation of Ukraine.
Our own local Jews here oppose to hear independent Palestine but want a part of Nigeria relinquishes to them to establish their own independent country.

You got it right. The major undoing of Ukraine is relinquishing their nukes to Russia and Russia never honoured the agreement.
