Adm. William McRaven on Trump's next steps for Russia-Ukraine war
President Donald Trump on Thursday urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to 'STOP!' after a deadly barrage of attacks on Kyiv, Ukraine's capital. Retired Admiral William H. McRaven tells NewsNation's 'CUOMO' that he applauds Trump for trying to end the war but needs to realize that Vladimir Putin won't be true to his word. McRaven argues Zelenskyy isn't perfect but has shown tremendous courage in being a wartime leader. 'Misunderstanding the people you're negotiating with is something he needs to get right.'
