Poor sound made it impossible to properly hear what Trump said, triggering a barrage of false translations, accusations, and a scandal.

Therefore, we are correcting the post and providing two verbatim quotes in English.

Translate them yourselves.

Interpret them as you wish.

However, Trump did indeed state that Russia is behaving “delicately” in Ukraine and is not doing what it could, literally repeating Kremlin propaganda.

“Because Russia is behaving, let’s be honest, normally in Ukraine. They have not done much of what they could have done (they have not done much / they have not done anything like that),” Trump said.

“No, but I would do it, not so much for Ukraine because Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine, they haven't been doing much».”

Could Russia bomb even harder and kill more Ukrainians? Probably, yes.

But can one say of an invader and terrorist that he is behaving fairly well after all?

How many people must be killed before Trump finds the result horrifying?

Answering another question about Xi, Trump said that China is not very involved in the war, neither on Ukraine’s side nor on Russia’s.

“They are not even close to doing what they could, and I appreciate that; they know that I appreciate it,” Trump said.

“I think he's been very fair in Ukraine. He hasn't been very much involved and the same with Russia. They haven't been nearly what they could have been and I appreciate that, they know I appreciate that”.

That is, Trump recognizes Putin’s right to be a terrorist and is grateful that he has not killed everyone.

In addition, Trump again said that Putin wants the war to end, while Zelensky does not,

and that Zelensky should have ended it long ago, when a deal could have been made on favorable terms. And now millions are dying because of him.
