During the first presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, Trump claimed he could "settle the war" in Ukraine, initiated by Vladimir Putin, before taking office on January 20, suggesting Russia would not have attacked if the US had a "real president." Biden countered by calling Putin a "war criminal" and warning that Putin aims to control all of Ukraine and would not stop at Kyiv, highlighting the thousands killed by Russian aggression. Both candidates emphasised their toughness on foreign policy, with Biden criticising Trump's understanding of the situation. Meanwhile, Ukraine's military reported pushing Russian troops out of a district in Chasiv Yar, a critical area on the eastern front.

00:00First of all, our veterans and our soldiers can't stand this guy. They can't stand him.
00:06They think he's the worst commander in chief, if that's what you call him,
00:10that we've ever had. They can't stand him. So let's get that straight.
00:13And they like me more than just about any of them. And that's based on every single bit
00:18of information. As far as Russia and Ukraine, if we had a real president, the president that knew,
00:24that was respected by Putin, he would have never, he would have never invaded Ukraine.
00:30A lot of people are dead right now, much more than people know. You know,
00:33they talk about numbers. You can double those numbers, maybe triple those numbers.
00:37He did nothing to stop it. In fact, I think he encouraged Russia from going in.
00:41I'll tell you what happened. He was so bad with Afghanistan. It was such a
00:45horrible embarrassment, most embarrassing moment in the history of our country,
00:49that when Putin watched that and he saw the incompetence that he should,
00:52he should have fired those generals like I fired the one that you mentioned.
00:56And so he's got no love lost, but he should have fired those generals. No general got fired for
01:02the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, Afghanistan, where we left billions
01:07of dollars of equipment behind. We lost 13 beautiful soldiers and 38 soldiers were obliterated.
01:13And by the way, we left people behind, too. We left American citizens behind.
01:17When Putin saw that, he said, you know what? I think we're going to go in and maybe take my
01:22this is was his dream. I talked to him about his dream. The difference is he never would
01:27have invaded Ukraine. Never. Just like Israel would have never been invaded in a million years
01:35by Hamas. You know why? Because Iran was broke with me. I wouldn't let anybody do business with
01:41them. They ran out of money. They were broke. They had no money for Hamas. They had no money
01:45for anything. No money for terror. That's why you had no terror at all during my administration.
01:51This place, the whole world is blowing up under him.
01:55President Biden never heard so much malarkey in my whole life. Look, the fact of the matter
02:00is that we're in a situation where let's take the last point first. Iran attacked American troops,
02:06kill or cause brain damage for a number of these troops. And he did nothing about it.
02:12When he was president, they attacked. He said, they're just having headaches. That's all it is.
02:17We didn't do a thing when the attack took place, number one. Number two, we got over 100,000
02:24Americans and others out of Afghanistan during that airlift. Number three, we found ourselves
02:31in a situation where if you take a look at what Trump did in Ukraine, this guy told Ukraine,
02:38told Trump, do whatever you want and do whatever you want. And that's exactly what Trump did
02:44to Putin. Encourage him, do whatever you want. And he went in and listen to what he said when
02:49he went in. He was going to take Kiev in five days, remember, because it's part of the old
02:53Soviet Union. That's what he wanted to reestablish. Kiev. And he, in fact, didn't do it at all. He
02:59didn't, wasn't able to get it done. And they've lost over, they've lost thousands and thousands
03:03of troops, 500,000 troops. President Trump, I never said that for one minute. I just want to
03:09go back to my original question, which is, are Putin's terms acceptable to you keeping the
03:15territory in Ukraine? No, they're not acceptable. But look, this is a war that never should have
03:20started. If we had a leader in this war, he led everybody along. He's given 200 billion dollars
03:27now or more to Ukraine. He's given 200 billion dollars. That's a lot of money. I don't think
03:32there's ever been anything like it. Every time that Zelensky comes to this country, he walks away
03:37with 60 billion dollars. He's the greatest salesman ever. And I'm not knocking him. I'm not
03:41knocking anything. I'm only saying the money that we're spending on this war and we shouldn't be
03:48spending. It should have never happened. I will have that war settled between Putin and Zelensky
03:54as president elect before I take office on January 20th. I'll have that war settled.
03:59People being killed so needlessly, so stupidly. And I will get it settled and I'll get it settled
04:06fast before I take office. President Biden, you have a minute.
04:11The fact is that Putin is a war criminal. He's killed thousands and thousands of people. And
04:17he has made one thing clear. He wants to reestablish what was part of the Soviet empire,
04:23not just a piece. He wants all of Ukraine. That's what he wants. And then you think
04:27he'll stop there? Do you think he'll stop when he, if he, if he takes Ukraine? What do you think
04:32happens to Poland? What do you think of Belarus? What do you think happens to those NATO countries?
04:36And so if you want a war, you ought to find out what he's going to do. Because
04:41if in fact he does what he says and walks away. And by the way, all that money we give Ukraine
04:46and from weapons we make here in the United States, we give them the weapons, not the money
04:51at this point. And our NATO allies have produced as much funding for Ukraine as we have.
04:57That's why it's, that's why we're strong.
