The Ukrainian government is hiding the number of people killed in the war, US presidential candidate Donald Trump said.
“This war should not have happened. But it did. And it is harder to negotiate now than it was at the beginning. Millions of people have died. And the number will only increase. The death toll will be higher than people can imagine. If you look at the destruction of buildings all over Ukraine, the number will be even higher. They are lying when they say the numbers now, they are trying to make them small. They destroyed a building two blocks long – that is a pretty big building. And they say one person was slightly injured. No, no, many people were killed. And there are people in these buildings, and they have no chance. Once they start to collapse, there is no chance,”
“Trump said on the Lex Friedman podcast.
The presidential candidate once again stated that if he were elected president, he would be guaranteed to conclude an agreement to end the war in Ukraine. And that under his presidency, the war would not have happened in principle.
“I have a very precise plan to stop Ukraine and Russia. And I have a certain idea, maybe not a plan, but an idea on China… But I can't reveal these plans to you, because if I reveal these plans to you, I won't be able to use them, they will be unsuccessful. Because part of it is surprise, right?” – he said.
