Joint Statement by President Donald J. Trump and President Vladimir Putin of Russia Commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the Meeting on the Elbe

This is another puzzling example of Putin's hold over Trump.

The Soviet troops to meet US forces at the Elbe on April 25, 1945, were elements of the Soviet *First Ukrainian Front.*

Why isn't Trump commemorating this 75th anniversary with Ukrainian president Zelensky?
