CALLER: I listen to your show often, and I’m a supporter of President Trump. I was calling to say that I’m disappointed in your position that you think giving up — that Ukraine giving up land at this time is the right way to go.
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): When did I ever say it was my position that I think that Ukraine — that I want Ukraine to give up land? When did I say that?
CALLER: You haven’t said that, but you think that that’s the way it’s going to have to go.
HANNITY: I think that’s the way — if you’re asking me for analysis, which is different than what I want. I don’t like the fact that you reward a country that invades an innocent country, and they end up with more land. I don’t like the principle of it. However, given the choices, where we are, I think that’s the reality. If there’s going to be any deal, that’s where it’s going to land, in my opinion.
CALLER: And I understand that, but I disagree at this time. President Trump has said that if President Putin was not going to stop the fighting in Ukraine that he would face severe sanctions. We have not tried that. And I think that needs to be done first, and he needs to say, “Get out of Ukraine, stop the fighting, or those sanctions are going to go in place.”
HANNITY: We know what the severe sanctions are going to be. It’s very simple. It’s not complicated. The sanctions are going to be exactly what President Trump has started, and the sanctions will be like the EU trade deal. And European countries will now buy more and more of their energy from us and not from Russia. That then cuts off as the funding of his war machine. I think the president also puts pressure on other countries like he did with India, 50% tariff. I think that’s all in place. I think the president will continue to sell arms to Ukraine. But if you don’t get a deal, and I’m being — and I think the president’s being very realistic in terms of what’s possible. I’m not saying I like it. I’m just saying this is where I think it ends, if it’s going to end.
