Trump blamed a 'stupid general' for the failed advance on Kyiv; BBC fact-checked the claim
On October 20, during a meeting with journalists, Donald Trump once again spoke about the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, blaming an unnamed Russian general for tanks getting stuck in the mud. A BBC fact-check established that the advance on Kyiv was led by Colonel General Alexander Chaiko, and the failure was linked to the actions of Ukrainian forces, not to the decision to leave the highway.
