What happened
On the morning U.S. and Ukrainian delegations met in Geneva to revise the 28-point plan, he posted that the war 'would have NEVER HAPPENED' with 'proper U.S. and Ukrainian LEADERSHIP,' that Putin 'would never have attacked' had the 2020 election not been 'RIGGED & STOLEN,' and that Ukraine's leadership had 'EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS.' Zelensky had publicly thanked the United States two days earlier and the Ukrainian delegation in Geneva 'reaffirmed its gratitude' to Trump personally in the joint statement issued that day. The post repeated a formulation Putin used in Alaska, that the war would not have started had Trump been president. The Geneva talks produced what both sides called an 'updated and refined peace framework' that later became a 20-point plan.
