“I think if I hadn't won the election, he would have taken over all of Ukraine. I think he would have taken over all of Ukraine. He saw what happened in Afghanistan. He said: “Wow, this is my chance,” because that was always the pupil of his eye. I was talking to him. I think he wanted the whole country,” Trump said.
Asked if Putin wants peace, the American president said, “I think so. I think eh. I think really his dream was to take over the whole country. I think because of me, he won't be able to do that.”
When asked if he trusts the Russian ruler, Trump was evasive.
“I don't trust you. I don't trust a lot of people, but I think this: I think he, let's say, respects me, and I believe that because of me he will not take over the whole country, but his decision, his choice will be to take over the whole of Ukraine,” Trump said.
