President Donald Trump blames Ukraine for continuing its defensive war against Russia. He does so even as Ukraine has agreed to ceasefires proposed by Trump but rejected or broken systematically by Russia.

He has adopted these pro-Russian positions even as his own Justice Department charges Russian spies with assassination plots against the United States.
