Famous Satirical Website The Babylon Bee Satirizes Trump: I've Had Russia and Ukraine Confused This Entire Time

Washington D.C. -- The new presidential administration experienced a rare public relations blunder as President Donald Trump awkwardly discovered that he had been confusing Russia and Ukraine this entire time.

The error was eventually discovered by a White House aide, who began having doubts after the president publicly declared Ukraine to be the initiator of the war. After further investigation, the aide privately informed Trump that he had actually gotten the two countries backward.

"As I understand it, their situation is the opposite," Trump told reporters at an impromptu press conference held in the Oval Office. "The country that actually invaded others and started the war turns out to be Russia. Honestly, these two countries are really easy to get mixed up; they are right next to each other, and both are extremely cold in the winter, freezing cold. I always thought that short guy Zelenskyy was Russian; his accent sounds like a Russian."

An administration insider stated that once Trump realized this error, it could completely change the prospects of the entire peace negotiations. "This is a major difference," the source said. "He was so tough on Ukraine before precisely because he thought Ukraine was the instigator of the war, when in reality Russia launched the invasion. We had to pull out a large map and explain to him that Russia is the larger country and Ukraine is the smaller one. That's okay, now he finally gets it."

Reportedly, Trump subsequently proposed a brand-new peace plan, which involves the United States directly taking over Ukraine and Russia, turning them into new U.S. territories.
