Donald Trump, the former U.S. President, blamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for contributing to the start of Ukraine's war with Russia.

Speaking on the PBD Podcast with Patrick Bet-David, Trump criticized Zelensky's actions and suggested the Ukrainian leader failed to seek peace with Moscow.

Trump has also indicated that if he wins the November 5 election, he may reduce U.S. military aid to Ukraine.

He controversially suggested that Ukraine might have to concede some territory to Russia for peace.

Trump's stance contrasts with Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, who has emphasized continued support for Ukraine as crucial for U.S. national security.
