Former President Donald Trump has said many times that if he was elected president again, he would end the war Russia launched against Ukraine. On Friday, he made that pledge in a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“I appreciate President Zelenskyy for reaching out,” the Republican presidential nominee said in a post on his Truth Social platform, regarding “the war that has cost so many lives and devastated countless innocent families.”
Trump has not offered any concrete policy for a path to peace between Ukraine and Russia.
Zelenskyy has proposed a peace plan, which he presented at a summit last month that Russia was not invited to. His plan calls for the withdrawal of Russian troops and the restoration of Ukraine’s 1991 post-Soviet borders.
Zelenskyy has been firm in his position that there will be no negotiations about ending the war as long as Russian troops remain in Ukraine.
