global network reported on october 6 that "trump 'asked putin for advice' on whether the united states should help arm ukraine." on the 5th, the british "independent" quoted an article from the american "new york times" with this title, details of an interaction between former us president trump and russian president vladimir putin were revealed.

on july 7, 2017, russian president vladimir putin and then-u.s. president trump held their first official meeting in hamburg, germany. during this meeting, trump told putin that the united states was considering providing weapons to ukraine.

"what do you think?" trump asked putin at the time.

putin's answer to this was: this was a "mistake". no matter what the united states gave ukraine, they wanted more.

the new york times reported that according to three u.s. officials who attended the meeting in hamburg, trump did not retort after hearing putin’s answer.

former us president and republican presidential candidate trump’s attitude towards the russia-ukraine conflict has always attracted much attention. on september 27, local time, trump met with ukrainian president zelensky at trump tower in new york. trump once again reiterated his previous argument that if he returns to the white house, he will quickly end the conflict between russia and ukraine, and said in front of zelensky that he has a "good relationship" with russian president vladimir putin.

according to previous reports by us media, zelensky's recent remarks and "harmonious" scenes with top democrats have angered republicans. on september 25, trump once publicly accused zelensky of "maliciously slandering him."
