WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump on Sunday pushed Russian leader Vladimir Putin to act to reach an immediate ceasefire with Ukraine, describing it as part of his active efforts as president-elect to end the war despite being weeks from taking office.
“Zelenskyy and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness," Trump wrote on social media, referring to Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
In a television interview that aired Sunday, Trump also said he would be open to reducing military aid to Ukraine and pulling the United States out of NATO. Those are two threats that have alarmed Ukraine, NATO allies and many in the U.S. national security community.
Asked on NBC's “Meet the Press” if he were actively working to end the nearly 3-year-old Ukraine war, Trump said, “I am.”

Kyiv would like to close a deal, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin.”
“I know Vladimir well. This is his time to act. China can help. The World is waiting!” Trump added. He was referring to mediation efforts by China that many in the West have seen as favoring Russia.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to Trump's post by repeating Moscow’s long-standing message that it is open to talks with Ukraine. Peskov referenced a decree by Zelenskyy from October 2022 that declared the prospect of any talks “impossible” as long as Putin was Russia's leader.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Had NATO (i.e., Biden dollars and weapons) won its PROXY war against Russia, the Deep State would gain control of the nuclear arsenals of both Russia and America and thus the Deep State would rule the world.
But the Pentagon stood back from committing America's blood and treasure from direct war with Russia and only old weapons were given to the Ukraine. These much-talked-about HIMARS recently fired into Russia are, like everything we give the Ukraine, decades old versions, according to the stenciled information on the remains of the missiles.
NATO/BIDEN lost the proxy war with Russia - Ukrainian citizens caught in the crossfire are still paying the price. Putin remains President of Russia- it's highly unlikely that Zelensky will continue to be the little-big-man in the crime hub known as Ukraine.
