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".

That's the funniest thing you've posted in years! You think Mr. Trump would risk a world war, after getting impeached over a call to Ukraine, AND seeing Zelensky try to tip the 2024 election to Kamala? Back to the Volga? Maybe if Zelensky gets bit by a radioactive spider like Spider-Man, and develops Magical Princess Powers!
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!!
(((PING!)))
Join and laugh at the humor Zeepers provide!
Shouldn’t that be Putin’s focus?
Why do we have to give Putin, the aggressor, a victory?
Wow, if only everyone in the World was as smart as you are?
Of course I don't support Putin. But "might is right".
Best thing for Ukraine at this point is to cut their losses and agree to a ceasefire.
“Why do we have to give Putin, the aggressor, a victory?”
Because Trump has people who UNDERSTAND the cause of the Ukraine War, rather than others who also understand the cause, but fake being ignorant about it.
The war in Ukraine is a result of OUR MEDDLING IN THAT COUNTRY, starting with the Maiden coup, which we fomented, that setoff a civil war in Ukraine.
A democratically-elected President was driven out of office, one that the people of Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea voted for. None of those regions were under any obligation to be part of Ukraine nationalists/neo-Nazi government formed ILLEGALLY. They had EVERY right to their independence or to join the Russian Federation.
Nor are the Russians under any obligation to tolerate us and NATO installing a government illegally that was hostile to Moscow and allow us and NATO to arm, fund and train a 600,000 man army in bordering nation.
If China or Russia had done anything like that in Mexico, we would invade.
So, you want to debate me on the issue, I'll be more than happy to show you how much smarter and informed I am than you>.
You repeating lies from the Biden regime, Deep State and globalists.
Wah, whine, piss etc.
Go cry in your sleeve, like a bitch.
Maybe leave the forum... then FOAD.
No, they're just not as dirt-stupid as you.
If he’s not speaking for President Trump, what’s your point in posting this fake news?
Russia doesn’t need regarding, NATO needs.
Yep. It’s what many of us predicted would be the outcome.
Sorry Zeeper.
That’s the least of it. Trump loses most of his mojo to deter China, for starters.
There are things more important than one’s life or possessions, but you as a tool of a dictator wouldn’t be familiar with them, would you?
I’m pretty sure that if Z-man concedes too much, his own supporters will oust him.
It’s possible that this could turn into the wars in Chechnya 10x, but Ukraine will still have some Euro support — certainly much more support than the Chechens did. It took Russia 2 wars, several years, and near genocide to put them down.
