Fox News Reporter Injured by Russian Missile Tells Bret Baier Ukrainians Are Worried Ahead of Trump-Putin Summit

Fox News’ Benjamin Hall, the reporter who was badly injured by a Russian missile while covering Vladimir Putin’s invasion of his western neighbor back in March 2022, relayed Ukrainians’ fears ahead of President Donald Trump’s meeting with Putin on Friday afternoon.

“When you talk to Ukrainians, is there, to your point the Gallup poll says 69 percent want it [the war] to come to an end, but is there a real fear that if Putin gets some kind of land in the east, that he would have a launching point, a lily pad to do it again? To rip up whatever he agrees to and come back after them?” Fox’s Bret Baier asked Hall.

“Yes, and I think time, and time again we’ve seen President Putin invade various countries, try to push the lines, and that’s why the idea that Ukraine has to be, you know, fully fortified is so important,” replied Hall. “And so President [Volodymyr] Zelensky said just a few days ago that he couldn’t trust a word that President Putin said, and I think that’s what President Trump will be looking at today. Is President Putin there just to sell him stories, just to promise him big wins on the surface without underlying them with real security backups? I think that’s going to be the difficult thing today. You know, do you just accept, you know, hostage prisoner releases, mineral deals, or do you have a ceasefire starting today? Do you give the Ukrainians the ability to push back at all? And, you know, does NATO become-, play a bigger part in that or not?”
