The headline is absolutely false. What trump really said is that it is Ukraine's fault they aren't being included in negotiations.

At Mar-a-Lago, he also tried to reinvent the facts around Russia’s invasion three years ago, when Putin’s forces rolled across the border of an independent, sovereign democracy and redrew the map of Europe.

“Today I heard, ‘Oh well, we weren’t invited,’” the president said, referring to Ukraine’s complaints that it’s not been allowed to take part in the nascent peace process. “Well, you been there for three years. You should’ve ended it after three years. You should’ve never started it. You could’ve made a deal,” he said.

It seems the reporting on this changed throughout the day but at the moment I posted this I saw several news sources (some of which in my own language) claim what the title claimed. Guess you can really never trust them.

Maybe I've just gotten more careful but it feels like the blatant lying in news has gotten worse since trump first said "Fake News" back in 2017.
