Trump Calls Russia- Ukraine War ‘ Madness,’ Suggests China Could Help End It
US President- elect Donald Trump has called for an end to the ongoing Russia- Ukraine war, describing the conflict as” madness” and prompting immediate peace addresses. Taking to his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump suggested that China could play a crucial part in brokering peace, while also prompting Russian President Vladimir Putin to act fleetly.
“ There’s no time to waste—an immediate ceasefire and meaningful negotiations must happen now. Vladimir has a chance to lead, and China could be the key. The world is holding its breath!” Trump shared.
His reflections followed a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Paris, marking their first face- to- face discussion since Trump’s election palm last month. The meeting, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, was described as” good and productive” by officers, though details of their discussion remain unclear.
Zelenskyy Pushes Back
Zelenskyy, while drinking addresses about peace, emphasized that Ukraine needs further than just pledges.” Peace without dependable guarantees is pointless,” he stated, pointing to Russia’s history of breaking ceasefire agreements.
He also rejected simplistic ceasefire results, saying, “ A ceasefire without guarantees can be reignited at any moment, as Putin has formerly shown us. To truly stop the suffering, we need reliable peace, not just another pause for Russia to regroup. ”
Kremlin’s Take
Meanwhile, Kremlin prophet Dmitry Peskov reiterated Russia’s amenability to negotiate but claimed addresses must align with the “ realities on the battleground, ” representing Russian territorial advances. Peskov indicted Ukraine of blocking dialogue and called for the junking of Zelenskyy’s ban on engaging with Russian leadership as a prerequisite for any progress.
Trump’s suggestion of involving China adds a new subcaste to the discussion, sparking debate on whether Beijing could step in to intervene. While pressures remain high, his reflections have reignited conversations on chancing a path toward peace.
