A former adviser to President-elect Donald Trump says the incoming administration will focus on achieving peace in Ukraine rather than enabling the country to gain back territory occupied by Russia.
Bryan Lanza, who worked on Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, told the BBC the incoming administration would ask Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his version of a "realistic vision for peace".
"And if President Zelensky comes to the table and says, well we can only have peace if we have Crimea, he shows to us that he's not serious," he said. "Crimea is gone."
A spokesperson for Trump distanced the incoming president from the remarks, saying Mr Lanza "does not speak for him".

Bryan with a ‘y’ trys to speak for Trump. lol
So much noise.
A little realism would be a nice change - too many folks around, the last couple of years, getting high on hopium (or peddling it professionally). Mr. Trump is obviously not one of them...
I only believe it when Trump speaks.

Crimea was gone 10 years ago. DUH!
With that as the starting point, Russia wins and UKR loses. What that leads to is Russia rearming and later coming after more. Is DJT really that stupid?
Former advisor. Not speaking for President Trump.

Good - and may he stay former!
Russia isn’t giving up any gains UNLESS Putin is given an offer he can’t refuse.
Ukraine isn't getting an inch of territory back.
Trump, wisely, is suggesting they cut their losses.
Morons like you want them to continue to lose lives and more territory continuing to fight a war they don't have manpower left to win.
Never mind, Kiev is facing eight to 20 hour blackouts this winner.
You're not the sharpest tool in the shed.
You’re a fool if you don’t think this comments represent Trump’s view on the ending the war.
Don’t bet against President Trump, Ivan.
If not, the war will continue drag on for years and years.
How’s the weather there in Kazan, Russia?
It's going to be fun to watch Ukraine be forced to finally surrender.
Zelensky, his cronies and the Ukrainian oligarchs will take any deal that allow them to escape to their mansions elsewhere in the world.
Putin and BRICS will gladly agree to halt de-dollarization, which will make us a big winner.
President Trump is going to bitch slap Putin back to the Volga.
What a kind and diplomatic way of saying “Thank you for your service, neocons—but you are not going to weasel your Raytheon-sponsored, treacherous, treasonous, spineless, America-last asses back into the White House” pic.twitter.com/eEMfDysBUD— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) November 9, 2024
