TRUMP: UKRAINE ‘SHOULD HAVE NEVER STARTED IT’: As Russia launched another massive drone and missile attack on civilian targets in Ukraine’s port city of Odesa, President Donald Trump was bristling at the suggestion that Ukraine was being sidelined as the U.S. pursues a better relationship with Russia and an end to the war on President Vladimir Putin’s terms.

“Today I heard, ‘Oh, well, we weren’t invited.’ Well, you’ve been there for three years. You should have ended it three years [ago]. You should have never started it,” Trump told reporters after he signed another round of executive orders at his Florida residence. “You could have made a deal. I could have made a deal for Ukraine. That would have given them almost all of the land. Everything. Almost all of the land. And no people would have been killed, and no city would have been demolished, and not one dome would have been knocked down. But they chose not to do it that way.”
