Former US Ambassador to Ukraine Admits Trump Would Have Prevented War

Marie Yovanovitch, the former US Ambassador to Ukraine, let slip during an interview that Trump would have prevented war in Ukraine via diplomacy, but then absurdly asserted that would have been a bad thing.

Yovanovitch, who testified against Trump during his 2019 impeachment trial, made the remarks during an interview with PBS this past weekend.

The former ambassador was asked by host Margaret Hoover about her previous claim that Russia's invasion "Never would have happened in the Trump administration."

"I've heard that you have also suggested that Putin might not have gone to war if Trump was still in office," said Hoover.

Hoover then asked Yovanovitch directly, "I mean, how do you think the invasion would have been different if Trump had remained as president?".

Marie Yovanovitch - the former US Ambassador to Ukraine under Trump who testified against him in the 2019 impeachment, and was lauded as a hero - suggests that if Trump were in office, he'd have averted the war diplomatically.

"We are now getting into- You know, this is why diplomats are told [LAUGHS] never to answer theoretical questions! So we're getting into areas of- you know, I mean, it's a hypothetical question, right? I don't know what Trump would have done, and I don't know what Putin would have done. But I can't see Trump, President Trump standing up for Ukraine the way President Biden is right now."
