Ex MI6 Chief Claims Putin Manipulated Trump Over Ukraine Conflict

Vladimir Putin has 'played Donald Trump like a violin' over Ukraine, according to former British intelligence chief Sir Alex Younger. Younger warned that Putin's actions risk making Trump appear weak if he continues to support the bombing of Ukraine. Trump has pledged to send more weapons to aid Ukraine's defense and is set to make a significant statement on the matter soon.

Younger highlighted that Putin's strategy of portraying a friendly relationship with Trump is a facade, as Putin's true intention is to subjugate Ukraine. He cautioned that Putin may be overplaying his hand and lacks a military solution to the conflict. Trump's stance on Putin has shifted over time, from initially praising Putin's actions to expressing disappointment and skepticism towards the Russian leader.
