Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has no idea how to end war in Ukraine, his former national security adviser John Bolton said in an interview with CNN, quoted by Ukrinform, BTA reported.
In particular, Bolton referred to a statement Trump made during a recent conversation with President Volodymyr Zelensky that he would bring peace and end the Russian-Ukrainian war.
"This is crazy. He has no idea how he's going to negotiate and how he's going to end this war," Bolton said.
The former national security adviser stressed that Trump's closeness with Russian President Vladimir Putin would lead to concessions in Moscow's favor that would be devastating for Ukraine.
According to Bolton, it is "a very dark moment" not only for Ukraine, as the United States has come to Kiev's aid "not out of the goodness of our hearts, not out of active charity". "We are providing assistance to Ukraine because it is at the center of American national security interests to defend against unprovoked aggression on the European continent and to try to achieve peace and stability there, which benefits us in countless ways,", he said.< /p>
