Trump lets Zelensky know that he will end war

(MENAFN) Former United States President Donald Trump assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he would resolve the ongoing conflict between Moscow and Kiev if he is re-elected to the White House. During a phone call on Friday, Trump informed Zelensky of his intention to end the war and bring peace, highlighting his commitment to ending a conflict that has caused significant loss of life and hardship for countless families.

Trump shared details of the call on Truth Social, where he described it as “very good.” He also mentioned Zelensky's congratulations on Trump’s successful Republican National Convention and condemned a recent “heinous assassination attempt” against the Ukrainian leader. Trump expressed gratitude to Zelensky for reaching out and reiterated his pledge to restore global peace and resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Zelensky responded positively to Trump’s assurances, indicating that he had agreed to discuss further steps towards a fair and lasting peace in a personal meeting. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Zelensky emphasized the importance of bipartisan American support for Ukraine’s freedom and independence, expressing ongoing gratitude for United States assistance in resisting Russian aggression.

While Trump did not confirm plans for a meeting with Zelensky, the details of the conversation remained sparse, with neither side providing additional information. This phone call comes in the wake of Trump’s 2019 impeachment, which was partially centered on a previous call with Zelensky where Trump was accused of soliciting damaging information about his political rival, Joe Biden, in exchange for military aid.
