Trump Calls Russia 'Paper Tiger' in Ukraine, Urges Europe Support
Former US President Donald Trump has made fresh comments on the Ukraine situation, expressing his views on Russian President Vladimir Putin and the ongoing conflict. Speaking to US military generals, Trump shared his thoughts on the conflict's end and his past conversations with Putin.
Trump started by stating that the conflict should continue until Ukraine regains control of all territories lost since 2022. He then revealed that he had shared his views on the conflict with Putin in a personal conversation, though no recordings of these talks have been made public. In these conversations, Trump reportedly told Putin: 'You know, you don't look so good. You've been fighting for the fourth year in this conflict. You're a paper tiger?'.
Trump's use of the phrase 'paper tiger' to describe Russia's actions in the conflict has drawn attention. He previously promised to abandon this phrase but has since used it again. During his speech, Trump also expressed disappointment with Putin's handling of the Ukrainian conflict and called on Europe to actively support Ukraine.
Trump's latest comments on the Ukraine situation and his past conversations with Putin have sparked discussion. While he believes the conflict should continue until Ukraine regains all lost territories, his use of the phrase 'paper tiger' and his stance on the conflict may be part of a double game, as some analysts suggest. Despite these comments, there is no publicly available information indicating that anyone has recorded and released Trump's personal conversations with Putin about the Ukraine situation.
