His scathing criticism of Europe emerged after Sir Keir Starmer hosted Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, France’s Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Friedrich Merz for crisis talks over how to end the war on Monday.
“Russia has the upper hand. And they always did. They’re much bigger. They’re much stronger in that sense,” Mr Trump told the Politico news website.
“I give the people of Ukraine and the military of Ukraine tremendous credit for the bravery and for the fighting and all of that.
“But you know, at some point, size will win, generally. And this is a massive size, when you take a look at the numbers, I mean, the numbers are just crazy.”
He’s not wrong. In the end Putin will send every man they have until they exhaust Ukraine. He doesn’t give a shit about his men. They can all die as long as they break down the walls.

Donald Trump has warned Ukraine to accept [his peace proposal](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/12/08/ukraine-russia-war-latest-starmer-zelensky-trump-putin/) because Russia is winning the war.
The US president suggested his approach to settling the war was in contrast to the Europeans, who he claimed would let Kyiv fight “until they drop”.
In a wide-ranging interview, Mr Trump accused continental leaders of failing to adequately support Ukraine, branding some of them “real stupid”, as well as claiming Sadiq Khan’s London had been [ruined by “ unchecked, unvetted” migration](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/09/26/donald-trump-renews-attack-terrible-sir-sadiq-khan-uk-usa/).
