Trump insists Russia’s war should end. But he won’t say if he wants Ukraine to win

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump said in the presidential debate that he wanted Russia’s war with Ukraine to be over. But he twice refused during Tuesday night’s presidential debate to directly answer a question about whether he wanted U.S. ally Ukraine to win. Trump also falsely claimed the war had killed “millions.” The United Nations says 11,700 civilian deaths have been verified. And Trump claimed without evidence that Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic opponent, had bungled a diplomatic mission just days before Russia launched the invasion. Harris argues that Trump effectively would give up Ukraine to Russian President Vladimir Putin if Trump is elected.
