nj.com —
Former Rep. Liz Cheney criticized Donald Trump for his support of Russian President Vladimir Putin. She accused Trump of abandoning Ukraine and distorting history, stating he contradicts the values of Ronald Reagan. Trump recently labeled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a "dictator" and claimed Ukraine started the war, despite Russia's invasion in 2022. His comments have drawn backlash from conservatives. The exchange follows a meeting between U.S. and Russian officials in Saudi Arabia, where they discussed negotiating an end to the war. Ukrainian and European officials were not included in these talks.
