Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Says President Trump Would Have Prevented War, Suggests It Would Have Been a Bad Thing (VIDEO)

Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, said during an interview that President Trump would have prevented war in Ukraine via diplomacy.

However, she then mentioned that would have been a bad thing.

Yovanovitch, who testified against Trump during his 2019 impeachment trial, made the hawkish comments during an interview with PBS this past weekend.

Infowars reported:

The former ambassador was asked by host Margaret Hoover about her previous claim that Russia’s invasion “never would have happened in the Trump administration.”

“I’ve heard that you have also suggested that Putin might not have gone to war if Trump was still in office,” said Hoover.

“Trump was very dismissive of NATO – I mean, dismissive, it’s obviously a diplomatic word – very critical of NATO, critical of our allies,” said Yovanovitch. “And his close associates, including John Bolton, have said that if he had won a second term, he would have pulled us out of NATO. I mean, why go to war with Vladimir Putin if the United States is going to present kind of the corpse of NATO on a silver platter? You don’t need to do that.”

Hoover then asked Yovanovitch directly, “I mean, how do you think the invasion would have been different if Trump had remained as president?”

“I think that Trump would have provided Putin with enough of what he wanted that perhaps he wouldn’t have invaded,” she responded.

Yovanovitch was then asked what Ukraine would have looked like if Russia hadn’t invaded (thanks to Trump). She bumbled around before trying to cover her tracks.
