President Trump at his Town Hall in New Hampshire last night revealed who he wants to win the war in Ukraine and he had the perfect answer.
When CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Trump who he wanted to win the war in Ukraine, Trump didn’t give the answer CNN anchor was expecting.
Trump stated “I want everybody to stop dying. They’re dying. Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying.”

Here’s what CNN reported:
President Donald Trump would not say Wednesday night who he thinks should prevail in Russia’s war against Ukraine, instead telling New Hampshire GOP primary voters that he wants “everybody to stop dying.”
“I want everybody to stop dying. They’re dying. Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying,” Trump said at CNN’s town hall moderated by “CNN This Morning” anchor Kaitlan Collins. “And I’ll have that done in 24 hours.”
Trump, who would not say whether he wants Ukraine to successfully deter Russia when pressed by Collins, told the audience gathered at Saint Anselm College that he doesn’t “think in terms of winning and losing.”
“I think in terms of getting it settled so we stop killing all these people,” he said.
“We’re giving away so much equipment, we don’t have ammunition for ourselves right now,” he said. “We don’t have ammunition for ourselves we’re giving away so much.”

Per BBC:
Over the course of the past few months, Mr Trump has said that Russia would have never invaded Ukraine if he were president and if he is returned to office he will negotiate a settlement in Ukraine within 24 hours.
He repeated those lines on Wednesday. When pressed, however, the former president repeatedly refused to say who he would like to prevail in the Ukraine conflict.
“I don’t think of winning or losing, I think in terms of getting it settled,” he said. “I want everybody to stop dying.”
He added that he thought Russian President Vladimir Putin made a mistake in invading Ukraine but, when asked, would not label him a war criminal.
