Amidst ongoing tensions, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed a willingness to conclude the war in Ukraine influenced by the insistence of former U.S. President Donald Trump. At a press briefing during the BRICS summit in Kazan, Putin highlighted Trump’s apparent sincerity in solving the conflict, affirming his openness to any peace-promoting statements regardless of their origin.
On the campaign trail in Nevada, Donald Trump, hopeful for a presidential re-election, promised immediate peace efforts should he re-enter the White House. He marked November 5th as the potential start date for this diplomatic endeavor, where he plans to engage both Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in discussions to end the hostilities.
Donald Trump has consistently maintained that the conflict, which commenced on February 24, 2022, during Joe Biden’s presidency, would have been averted under his administration, suggesting that his potential re-election would restore respect towards America on the global stage. Despite drawing criticism for his claims and his cosy relations with controversial leaders, Trump remains confident that his re-established leadership could swiftly mediate an end to the Ukraine crisis, reinforcing his capabilities during a recent meeting with Zelensky in Trump Tower.
