WATCH: RFK Jr. And Sean Hannity CLASH In Spirited Debate About The War In Ukraine

On Tuesday, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took a courageous stand during an appearance on Fox News's 'Hannity,' arguing for a peaceful end to the war in Ukraine.

When Kennedy discussed reports that Russia would be willing to draw up a settlement with Ukraine, host Sean Hannity pushed back, asking Robert F. Kennedy Jr. if he trusted Russian President Vladimir Putin. To this, Kennedy replied, “Do I trust Putin? No."

Nonetheless, Kennedy Jr. contextualized Putin's actions, saying, "I've litigated over 500 lawsuits. All of them end up with or, many of them end up with settlements of one kind or the other, and you never trust the guy on the other side. You use language, art; you use the design of agreements."

Sean Hannity, who was hosting a town hall event for the Democrat, then pressed Kennedy Jr. again, asking, "So Ukraine, to appease Putin ... They’ve already given up Crimea -- it was annexed, and now they have to give up the Donbas area?"

Kennedy Jr. then insinuated that the United States pushed Ukraine into the war. Hannity questioned this assertion, forcing Kennedy to clarify his remarks. RFK Jr. did so, saying, "In 2019, France, Germany, and Russia all agreed to the Minsk Accords. That year, Zelensky ran for president; he was a comedian, he had no political experience. Why did he win? Because he ran on one issue, signing the Minsk Accords. As soon as he got in there, Victoria Newland and the White House told him he couldn’t do it."

 
"Putin sends 40,000 troops in. That’s not enough to conquer the country. Clearly, he wanted someone to come to a negotiating table," Kennedy Jr. continued. "He wanted somebody to come to a negotiating table. Zelensky came to the negotiating table, signed a new agreement that was the Minsk Accords II in 2022, and that would have allowed Donbas to stay and Luhansk to stay, to remain as part of Ukraine."

"Putin signed it, Zelensky initialed it, and Putin, in good faith, began withdrawing troops from the Ukraine. What happened? We sent Boris Johnson over there to torpedo it because we don’t want peace; we want war with Russia," the presidential hopeful added.

Hannity then questioned why the candidate blamed the United States for the war. Hannity said Putin had no right to invade a sovereign country. To this, the 69-year-old Democrat replied, "From the beginning, we promised in 1992, the Russian leadership said… 'We’re gonna withdraw 400,000 troops from East Germany and we’re gonna allow you to reunite Germany under NATO,' which is a hostile army. That’s a huge concession for them. 'One commitment that we want,' is what the Russians said, 'is that you will not move NATO to the east.'"

Kennedy Jr. then detailed the timeline of the events that transpired, which took place under the George H.W. Bush administration -- arguing the US agreed to Russia's demand. "You do not need to make an enemy out of Russia,” Kennedy concluded.
