Former President Donald Trump says the ongoing Russia–Ukraine conflict was fueled in part by attempts by political opponents to prevent him from taking office.
“Instead of having a better relationship with Russia as I worked to build, we now have a proxy war with Russia, fueled in part by the lingering fumes of Russiagate delirium. Ukraine has been utterly devastated. Untold numbers of people have been killed. And we could very well end up in World War III,” Mr. Trump wrote in a Newsweek op-ed published Monday.
