“People go to war, thinking that they will win it, and then get a kick in the ass, lose the country and millions of lives. No one goes to war, thinking that they will lose. I am sure that Ukraine thought that she would win […] You are going to defeat someone who is 15 times more than you, ”Trump said.
According to him, the ex-president of the United States and his predecessor Joe Biden “should not allow it.”
At the same time, Trump did not mention that it was the Russian Federation who attacked Ukraine, occupied part of its territory, and Ukraine was forced to defend itself.
In addition, by the area of the Russian Federation more than Ukraine is a little more than 28 times.
Trump:

Context
On August 18, in Washington, a meeting of Trump and European leaders took place, among whom was Zelensky. They talked about security guarantees and the upcoming meeting of Zelensky with an illegitimate Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as their trilateral meeting with Trump. On the same day, the US President called Putin, and later stated that he began organizing a meeting between him and Zelensky. However, the Kremlin began to put forward conditions.
The White House was repeated on August 19 that Putin agreed to a bilateral meeting, but after that the Russian Foreign Ministry once again said that negotiations at the highest level “needed to prepare the most thoroughly.”
Zelensky said that his bilateral meeting with Putin should take place in “neutral” Europe. The head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrei Ermak in an interview with Putin, published in an interview on August 21, said there are several options for meeting Zelensky with Putin, among them – Geneva, Istanbul, Vatican, Saudi Arabia.
On August 25, Trump threatened that “very serious consequences” may occur if Russia does not sit at the negotiating table, and threatened to “intervene” if there is no progress in two weeks.
The world media suggest that Putin will delay, dodge or refuse negotiations with Zelensky and Trump.
