Trump pledges to end Ukraine war if he wins US elections.
Former US president Donald Trump has pledged to end Ukraine war in a telephonic conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy if he wins the presidential elections.
The US elections will be held on November 5.
He vowed to end the war pitting Kyiv against Moscow through negotiations in a post on Truth Social.
Volodymyr Zelensky also expressed thanks to US military for assistance but ironically he didn’t make any reference to end the Ukraine-Russia war
Donald Trump claimed that he will try to end the war even before assuming the office in January.
He has also said that had he been in office when the Kremlin sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022, the war would not have taken place.
In his Truth Social post, Trump said that as president he “will bring peace to the world and end the war that has cost so many lives.”
“Both sides will be able to come together and negotiate a deal that ends the violence and paves a path forward to prosperity,” Trump said.

Trump has proposed many options to end the conflict including urging Ukraine to surrender some territory to reach a successful peace agreement in an interview with Reuters.
In his post, Zelenskiy said he congratulated Trump on becoming the Republican nominee and denounced the assassination attempt on him last week.
“I wished him strength and absolute safety in the future,” Zelenskiy said.
“I noted the vital bipartisan and bicameral American support for protecting our nation’s freedom and independence.”
Ukraine, he said, “will always be grateful to the United States for its help in strengthening our ability to resist Russian terror. Russian attacks on our cities and villages continue every day.”

Zelenskiy denies any talks with Russia on ending the conflict as long as Russian troops remain in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian president has proposed a peace plan, showcased again at a “world summit” last month to which Russia was not invited, that calls for the withdrawal of Russian troops and the restoration of Ukraine’s 1991 post-Soviet borders.
Russian troops capture about 20% of Ukrainian territory.
Moscow’s forces have made incremental gains in the east of the country along the 1,000-km (600-mile) front since capturing the key city of Avdiivka in February.
