President Donald Trump has accused counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy of "allowing" the start of the war in Ukraine.
In a post on Truth Social, the US President describes the conflict as "Biden's war, not mine," foreign media write.
He adds: “President Zelenskyy and crooked Joe Biden did an absolutely terrible job of allowing this war to begin.
"There were many ways to prevent it from ever starting."
Trump also claims that if he had remained in the White House after his first term, the war would never have started.
“If the 2020 Presidential Election had not been rigged and it was, in many ways, that terrible war would never have happened,” he says.
Recall that Trump published these statements a day after Russia's ballistic missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Sumy, which Volodymyr Zelenskyy says killed 34 people.
A few weeks ago, Trump described Zelenskyy as a "dictator," before retracting the comment a few days later.
During the campaign for last year's US presidential election, Trump repeatedly said that the war in Ukraine would not have happened if he had been in the White House.
But despite Trump's claims, it was Vladimir Putin's Russian forces that launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
