Summary

Republican lawmakers who have condemned Putin hesitate to criticize Trump’s recent pro-Russia stance.

Trump falsely blamed Ukraine for the war, called President Zelenskyy a “dictator,” and demanded Ukraine surrender rare earth minerals in exchange for U.S. aid.

Zelenskyy rejected Trump’s minerals demand, warning of dangerous precedents.
