Soon after a wide-ranging Russian attack began on Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022 (local time), former U.S. President Donald Trump was back on the Fox News airwaves, talking about the crisis. Appearing to misunderstand the situation the way anchor Laura Ingraham later described it, Trump assumed that U.S. troops had launched an amphibious attack in Ukraine and told Ingraham that she should not be talking about it because troops were doing so secretly. A clip of the moment can be seen here: Earlier on in the show, Trump falsely claimed that the Russian invasion all happened because of a rigged election, referring to his November 2020 defeat. This would have never happened. https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1496696271121391622Ingraham had been referring to unverified claims of a Russian amphibious landing in the port city of Odessa, Ukraine, that Trump interpreted as an attack by the US. The Ukrainian military later said, The information about the paratrooping of Russian troops in Odessa is not true. A Ukrainian government official then confirmed to journalists that Russian troops landed in Odessa and were crossing the border in the city of Kharkiv.
