5 presidential election. "President Putin said that he wants to meet with me as soon as possible," Trump claimed. "So we have to wait for this. But we need to end that horrible, horrible war." Trump emphasized the heavy military losses incurred in the war and repeated his claims that Russia would not have launched the full-scale invasion if he had been president in 2022. "Millions of soldiers have died," he said. "We've got to stop it, it's ridiculous. That war would have never happened if I was president."Earlier this week, Putin on Dec. 19 said that he was prepared to meet with Trump at "any time" to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.
