The U.S. president said that this Russian general is no longer alive.
US President Donald Trump believes that Kiev was not taken by the Russian army because of the error of the command, which ordered Russian armored vehicles to move through fields instead of roads. He said at a briefing.
"The tanks would have been in Kiev in four hours if they had traveled along the highway. But the Russian general made a brilliant decision to drive through farmland, and there was just torrential rains, so heavy, and there was mud, and these tanks got stuck in the mud." ," Trump said.
He added that he did not know who in the Russian military leadership gave the order.
"I don't know who that general is, but knowing Vladimir, he's probably not alive anymore," the president said.
The Ukrainian military destroyed the stalled armored vehicles with Javelin missile systems provided by Trump, according to the American leader.
"The Javelin is called a tank fighter. They say Obama gave them sheets and I gave them Javelin. If it wasn't for me, all those tanks that were destroyed in the first days of the war would be in Kiev," the American leader said.
He noted that he had "not been nice to Putin" by providing Ukraine with the anti-tank weapons, but despite that he had a "great relationship" with the Russian dictator.
