Donald Trump is running again as a candidate in the upcoming US presidential election. Earlier this year, Trump boasted that he could end the Ukraine war in 24 hours.
Trump's proposal is for Ukraine to cede Crimea and Donbass to Russia. That would be a drastic departure from previous US policy. Another point in the Republican’s alleged “peace plan’: limiting NATO expansion. The Kremlin is aware of the speculation about Trump's intentions, the Kremlin press office said in response to a query from a US magazine. So far, however, “no initiatives have been announced by Donald Trump,” the Kremlin said. Without further details and confirmation, the alleged plan would be “impossible” to evaluate, Moscow said. The alleged idea would reward Russian President Vladimir Putin and condone the violation of internationally recognized territory. NATO is already working on making the Ukraine aid “Trump-proof”. As Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg suggested at the start of the foreign ministers' meeting of NATO members last week.
