When asked if he thought Mr Putin was a war criminal, he gave no definite answer, saying it should be “discussed later”.

He said: “If I say he is a war criminal, it will be much more difficult to make a deal to settle this matter.

“Because if he’s going to be a war criminal, where people are going to go and pick him up and execute him, he’s going to fight harder than he’s fighting.”

Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor who is considering running for the 2024 Republican nomination, said he believes Trump, if re-elected, will hand over Ukraine to Putin.

Christie said: “Donald Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours tonight on CNN.

“As absurd as it may sound, I suspect he will try to do this by handing Ukraine over to Putin and Russia.”

“Donald Trump refused to say tonight that he wants Ukraine to win the war with Russia. Further evidence that he is still a puppet of Putin,” he added.

Asa Hutchinson, the former Arkansas governor who is running against Trump for the Republican nomination, has condemned Trump’s comments about Ukraine.

“You will win,” said Mr. Hutchinson.

“It bothered me a lot. It’s a terrible attitude not to support Ukraine.”

The former president says the “millions of votes” were rigged

Trump’s remarks on Ukraine, which included voters planning to run in the New Hampshire Republican primary, were praised by the public.

New Hampshire will be the second state to vote in the contest for the Republican nomination.

During City Hall, Trump repeatedly claimed the 2020 election was “rigged” and said anyone who didn’t think that was “stupid.”
