President Donald Trump used a sports analogy to describe the Russia-Ukraine war in a Truth Social post Thursday—as Trump has retreated from demanding a cease-fire and instead backed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s call for an end to the war after their meeting last week.
Trump said Ukraine is “like a great team in sports that has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed to play offense” in a Truth Social post Thursday, alleging President Joe Biden “would not let Ukraine FIGHT BACK, only DEFEND.”
Trump said “there is no chance of winning!” in the sports scenario he described.
