Trump opposes long-range missiles against Russia (Time)
US President-elect Donald Trump has said he is “strongly” opposed to Ukraine using US long-range missiles in Russia, while vowing not to abandon Kiev.
In an article published Thursday by Time magazine, President-elect Donald Trump wants to back down from Joe Biden's decision to authorize long-range strikes with US weapons on Russian territory.
“I don't agree at all with sending missiles hundreds of miles away from Russia. Why are we doing this? We're only escalating this war and making it worse. This shouldn't have been allowed to happen. Now they're not just sending missiles, they're using other kinds of weapons. And I think it's a very big mistake, a very big mistake. But the level, the number of people dying is not sustainable, and I'm talking about both sides. It's really advantageous for both sides to move things forward,” said the Republican in remarks made on November 25 that have just been published by Time, in a lengthy interview for his 2024 Person of the Year award.
