FORMER President of the United States (US) and Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential election, Donald Trump, has promised to end the rivalry between Russia and Ukraine if re-elected.
He stated this on his social media platform, Truth Social on Friday, July 20.
Trump noted that he had a “very good call” with the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, where they had negotiations on how to end the conflict between Kyiv and Moscow.
He added that he would bring peace to the world and end the war that has cost many lives, noting that both sides could negotiate a deal to stop the violence.
“I appreciate President Zelenskyy for reaching out because I, as your next President of the United States, will bring peace to the world and end the war that has cost so many lives and devastated countless innocent families. Both sides will be able to come together and negotiate a deal that ends the violence and paves a path forward to prosperity,” he said.
Similarly, Zelensky in a post on X congratulated Trump on his presidential nomination and appreciated the help from the US in the war with Russia.
“I spoke with @realdonaldtrump to congratulate him on the Republican nomination and condemn the shocking assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. I wished him strength and absolute safety in the future. I noted the vital bipartisan and bicameral American support for protecting our nation’s freedom and independence.
“Ukraine will always be grateful to the United States for its help in strengthening our ability to resist Russian terror. Russian attacks on our cities and villages continue every day. We agreed with President Trump to discuss at a personal meeting what steps can make peace fair and truly lasting,” he said in his post.
This is not the first time Trump has pledged to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. In 2023, he said if he returned to the White House, he could end the war in 24 hours, but he did not say how refusing to be drawn on whether he wanted Ukraine to prevail.
