Trump accused Biden of starting Russia's war against Ukraine
He stated this to reporters during his meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on November 7.
Biden actually pushed for this war, you know? Nobody believes it, but it just happened. And now look what happened, look what happened to Ukraine. It's a much smaller country, a lot of people died. And Russia didn't really benefit from this war either. They lost a huge number of soldiers and people.
