Former US President Donald Trump, who is running for office again, has told his supporters that he would do more to protect Ukraine than current US leader Joe Biden.

DETAILS: At a campaign rally, Trump said that under a Biden presidency, Vladimir Putin would “be given everything he wants, including Ukraine.”
“That’s a gift. He’s got a gift,” Trump added.
The NYT notes that Biden has been calling on world leaders and the US Congress for months to provide Ukraine with more military aid and that Trump has been undermining these efforts, but on 14 February, the former president tried to change the scenario, saying he would do more to defend Ukraine than Biden.
