Former U.S. President Donald Trump has called for an immediate ceasefire and negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, emphasizing the devastating human cost of the ongoing conflict.
In a post on his social media platform, truth Social, Trump drew a parallel between the Syrian conflict and the war in Ukraine, stating, “Assad is no more. He fled his country. His protector, Russia, Russia, Russia led by Vladimir Putin, was no longer interested in protecting him.”
Trump asserted that RussiaS involvement in Syria had waned due to its focus on the war in Ukraine, where he claimed “some 600,000 Russian soldiers lie wounded or dead in a war that should never have started and may last forever.”
He further suggested that both Russia and Iran, a key ally of Syria, have been weakened, attributing Russia’s decline to the war in Ukraine and Iran’s to Israeli military actions.
“Zelensky and Ukraine would also like to conclude an agreement and stop the madness,” Trump wrote, highlighting the Ukrainian losses, estimated at “400,000 soldiers and many more civilians.”
Urging for a diplomatic solution, Trump declared, “It is necessary to promptly cease fire and begin negotiations.Too many lives have been senselessly lost, too many families have been destroyed, and if this continues, it could turn into something much bigger and much worse. I know Vladimir well. It was his time to act. China can definitely help. The world is waiting!”
Trump’s call for peace comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described his recent meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and Trump as “productive,” stating that all parties involved desire a swift and just end to the war.
