Former U.S. President Donald Trump has pledged to engage in direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to bring an end to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Describing the conflict as a “carnage,” Trump emphasized the need for swift action to prevent further loss of life and destruction.
During a recent speech, Trump reiterated his belief that he could resolve the crisis quickly, claiming that his unique approach to diplomacy could bridge the divide between the two leaders. He criticized current U.S. policies on the conflict, arguing they have prolonged the war instead of fostering peace.
“I will meet with both Putin and Zelensky, and we will stop this carnage,” Trump said, highlighting his commitment to restoring stability in the region.
The former president, who is campaigning for the 2024 U.S. presidential election, has consistently positioned himself as a dealmaker capable of resolving international conflicts. His statements, however, have drawn both support and skepticism from various quarters, with some questioning the feasibility of his plan.
As the war in Ukraine continues to have global implications, Trump’s promise to intervene diplomatically has added a new dimension to the ongoing debate over U.S. foreign policy in the region.
