In February of this year, former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that if re-elected as president, he would end the war in Ukraine within one day. However, such a quick resolution is not feasible, states President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"If he can come here, and I will need 24 minutes, yes, 24 minutes, not more, 24 minutes to explain President Trump that he can't manage this war, he can't bring peace because of the Putin, if he is not trying and if he's not ready to give our territory for this terrible man, for the Putin" the president emphasized.
Trump's stance on the war in Ukraine
The Russian dictator Vladimir Putin praised Trump's idea of ending the war in a day, and Trump, in turn, expressed his approval.
"I like that he said that. I would get him into a room. I’d get Zelenskyy into a room. Then I’d bring them together. And I’d have a deal worked out," Trump said at that time.
Former U.S. President has repeatedly expressed his support for Putin and opposed providing assistance to Ukraine. For instance, in May of this year, he refused to recognize Putin as a war criminal and referred to him as smart.
He has previously stated that he would allow Russia to take part of Ukrainian territory to avoid war, making a similar statement in June of this year.
