- Trump is seeking to end the Russia-Ukraine war through an approach McConnell said is “certain to fail.”
- McConnell accused Trump of “coddling” Russian President Vladimir Putin and limiting assistance to Kyiv as part of that effort.
Why it matters: McConnell’s intervention puts him directly at odds with Trump after being largely quiet on the war. Limiting Kyiv’s assistance is central to the former Senate GOP leader’s criticism, while his “certain to fail” verdict rejects the president’s approach to ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
