Former UK Defence Minister Grant Shapps expressed strong disapproval of U.S. President Donald Trump's stance on Russia and Vladimir Putin, labeling it as "disgusting" and accusing Trump of moral ambiguity. Shapps criticized Trump's characterization of a lethal Russian missile strike in Ukraine as a "mistake," comparing the language used to the deflections employed by the IRA following terrorist attacks. He emphasized the clear distinction between an aggressor like Putin and the democratic nations he targets, describing Trump's failure to clearly condemn such aggression as demoralizing to democracies globally.​
