GOP Congressman Challenges Trump Over Ukraine War Stance Citing Poll

Rep. Don Bacon highlights poll showing most Americans blame Russia for the war, contrasting with Trump's controversial remarks on Ukraine.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) shared a Reuters/Ipsos poll indicating 70% of Americans believe Russia is to blame for the war in Ukraine, including 62% of Republicans.
Bacon criticized Trump's comments labeling Ukrainian President Zelensky a 'dictator' and suggesting Ukraine started the war, despite Russia's 2022 invasion.
The congressman emphasized the importance of moral clarity, calling Russia's actions 'evil' and aligning himself with historical pro-democracy leaders like Reagan and Churchill.
Trump's recent meeting with Zelensky ended in a fallout, with no agreement on a proposed joint mineral fund, dividing opinion among congressional Republicans.
Bacon and other GOP members, including Rep. Joe Wilson, have reiterated support for Ukraine and condemned Russia's aggression, while Trump has threatened sanctions against Russia if peace talks do not progress.
