President Donald Trump dances as he speaks at CPAC, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025, in Oxon Hill, Md.

Donald Trump continued pushing his oft-repeated lies about Russia’s three-year invasion of Ukraine before an audience of right-wing activists increasingly sympathetic to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

Trump expounded on the topic of the war between the two countries for several minutes at the Conservative Political Action Conference in a suburb of Washington, D.C., but never mentioned that Putin started the conflict.

He also repeated one of his favourite lies about the military and humanitarian assistance the former Soviet republic has received from the United States and Western Europe: “Europe has given $100 billion. The United States has given $350 billion because we had a stupid, incompetent president and administration.”
