Former President Donald Trump stated during Thursday’s town hall-style forum that officials are lying about the real number of casualties suffered in the Russia–Ukraine war.
Speaking in Clive, Iowa, at his second major televised event ahead of the 2024 primary election, Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he gets along with both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin and argued that he would end the war between the two countries in 24 hours.
