According to Cruz, he has repeatedly emphasized to Trump the importance of ending the Russia-Ukraine war with a decisive and undeniable defeat of the illegitimate president of the aggressor nation, Vladimir Putin.
"I believe that Russia will lose," said the senator.
He stated that Americans who voted in the presidential elections last fall knew that under a Democrat, the war would "continue and continue" and that "billions" would be invested in it.
Additionally, Cruz criticized the behavior of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office on February 28.
"Zelensky's performance was very poor. It harmed not only his country; it damaged global peace," the Republican said.
