ATLANTA — Republican Donald Trump laid the blame for the Ukraine war at US President Joe Biden’s feet Thursday, insisting that the invasion never would have happened “if we had a leader.”

“This is a war that never should have started. If we had a leader in this war… He’s given $200 billion now or more to Ukraine, he’s given $200 billion. That’s a lot of money. I don’t think there’s ever been anything like it,” Trump said during the pair’s first debate clash of the 2024 election campaign.
