Trump has stated that both Ukrainian President Zelensky and Russian President Putin share responsibility for the "millions of people dead" in the ongoing Ukraine conflict.

His remarks came during a meeting with the President of El Salvador at the White House, where he responded to reporters' inquiries.

"When you start a war, you have to know you can win," he said, also blaming President Joe Biden for the conflict, according to BBC.

Trump's remarks came in response to a recent horrific Russian missile strike on people in the northeastern city of Sumy, which has been described as one of the bloodiest attacks this year. He tweeted, "Millions of people dead because of three people: Putin at number one, Biden who had no idea what he was doing at number two, and Zelensky."

Tensions between Trump and the Ukrainian leader have been high ever since their heated confrontation at the White House in February, BBC reported.
