If the Russians stop the war now and go home, the war is over. If Ukraine stops the war now, they have lost their country. That’s the difference,
As we all know, politicians that are participating in an election say things that not necessarily end up becoming policy in their government if they win the election,
I think it’s unlikely in that light that the US as a country will stop supporting Ukraine,
If I were president, it would have never started."
I'll get the war with Ukraine and Russia ended. If I'm president-elect, I'll get it done before even becoming president,
How would you respect him (Biden)? He hasn't even made a phone call in two years to Putin. He hasn't spoken to anybody. That is a war that's dying to be settled. I will get it settled before I even become president if I win when I'm president-elect,
Because of our support, because of the air defence, the ammunition, the artillery, the javelins, the Abrams tanks that we have provided, Ukraine stands as an independent and free country,

I want the war to stop.”
Just to clarify in the question, do you believe it's in the U.S.’ best interest for Ukraine to win this war? Yes or no?”
Do you want Ukraine to win this war?”
I think it's the U.S.’ best interest to get this war finished. And just get it done. Negotiate a deal,
Understand why the European allies and our NATO allies are so thankful that you are no longer president and that we understand the importance of the greatest military alliance the world has ever known, which is NATO,
Otherwise, Putin would be sitting in Kyiv with his eyes on the rest of Europe, starting with Poland. And why don't you tell the 800,000 Polish Americans right here in Pennsylvania how quickly you would give up, for the sake of favor, and what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator who would eat you for lunch,
I believe the reason that Donald Trump says that this war would be over within 24 hours is because he would just give it up, and that's not who we are as Americans,
