Here’s a concise picture of Charlie Kirk’s stated views on the Russia-Ukraine war, in his own words and from coverage of his commentary:

#2: Framed Ukraine as a lower priority than U.S. domestic issues (e.g., the southern border). He repeatedly criticized political leaders for focusing on Ukraine over the U.S. border, calling that focus a “moral disgrace.”

#3: Has at times echoed or platformed “biolabs in Ukraine” claims. His show hosted segments alleging “U.S. bioweapon laboratories in Ukraine”—a narrative widely debunked by researchers and institutions.

#4: Still called Russia’s invasion “wrong” and characterized Putin negatively. While opposing U.S. aid, he also described the invasion as wrong and called Vladimir Putin a “gangster” and “thug.”

#5: Early minimization of the conflict. Just before the full-scale invasion, he referred to it as a “border dispute,” a framing that critics said mirrored Russian talking points
