Former US President Donald Trump joined the country's current president, Joe Biden, on Wednesday, in also calling the Russian military offensive in Ukraine “genocide”.
In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday night, Trump began to strongly criticize Biden's policies, which he claims have led to high inflation in the country, after which he said: “Now we must add to that what is happening in Ukraine. That is genocide.”
Trump's comments come a day after Biden publicly accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of committing genocide in Ukraine.
“We have the most powerful and most capable nuclear weapons in the world because of what I did,” Trump added in his Fox News statements, in which he reiterated that if he had been in power, the invasion of Ukraine would not have happened.
The former president also expressed the view that neither the US nor NATO should have been “kept out” of the conflict.
Biden has refused to send troops to Ukraine and close the country's airspace, but on Wednesday he announced that he has authorized an additional $800 million in military and security assistance to Ukraine.
According to the list released by the Pentagon, the new military assistance includes for the first time, since the beginning of the invasion on February 24, 18 155-millimeter Howitzers guns with 40,000 ammunition; to which 10 anti-artillery radars of the type AN/TPQ-36 and two AN/MPQ-54 aerial surveillance radars are added.
The package also contains 300 Switchblade drones (which have anti-armoured warheads), 500 Javelin anti-tank missiles, 200 armoured trolleys for transporting soldiers, 100 Humvees light armoured vehicles, 11 Mi-17 helicopters, 30,000 helmets and armored uniforms, and 2,000 laser and optical binoculars.
