Putin used then-President Trump's animus toward Ukraine to undermine US support, NYT reports


Donald Trump asked Russian President Vladimir #Putin for advice when deciding on whether to send arms to Ukraine early during his presidency in 2017, the New York Times (NYT) reported on Oct. 5, citing undisclosed U.S. officials.

Trump allegedly asked Putin what he thought about the possibility of sending U.S. #weapons to #Ukraine, which was at the time fighting Russian and Russian proxy forces in the eastern region of #Donbas.

The #Russian president responded it would be a "mistake," forcing Trump's team to come up with ways to "change the president's mind on Ukraine" after the meeting, according to the outlet.

Hi friends, I’m Josh. I’m a software engineer and Ruby developer at heart. I love open source and the open web and currently build tools for developers at a company that I cofounded. My Mastodon claim to fame is that I made the little keyboard shortcuts legend that you see when you type ?.

I love books and consider myself a lifelong learner. At this moment, I’m particularly concerned about information literacy, online disinformation and conspiracy theories, and violent extremism. I’m actively studying and exploring constructive solutions to those issues in my spare time.

My favorite things are books, computers, photography, and musical instruments (piano and bass mainly). My favorite people are my family, friends, colleagues, and you (you there, behind the screen).
