President-elect Donald Trump's team has shut down a former adviser's claim that the Trump administration's priority for Ukraine would be on establishing peace and not restoring territory lost to Russia, including Crimea.
Bryan Lanza, a Republican strategist who worked on Trump's presidential campaign and is not involved with the transition, said in an interview that the incoming Trump administration would be asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a "realistic vision for peace."
"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. Crimea is gone," Lanza said on the BBC World Service's Weekend program.
The priority for the U.S. would be "peace and to stop the killing," Lanza said.
A spokesperson for Trump's transition team denied that Lanza spoke for Trump. He "does not work for President Trump and does not speak for him," the spokesperson told the BBC.
A Trump spokesperson has been contacted for further comment via email. Lanza declined to provide further comment when contacted by Newsweek.

Only delusional idiot would think Crimea is even possibility.
Russians Are Already Storming Kurakhove⚔️Military Summary For 2024.11.10
Trump isn't going to do anything stupid, so he isn't going to forego territorial concessions nor preemptively make any.
The Europeans are not capable of funding Ukraine due to their extensive social welfare states.
So this is the end.
Once Zelensky agrees to surrender Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts, that's the end of the war.
Two can play at that game: Russia will cease to exist before it gets Kursk oblast back.
Regards,
I hope the best for Ukraine. Putin has the leverage going into 2025, unfortunately.

Crimea was gifted to Ukraine by Khrushchev.
Not that Russia hasn’t used Dem☭crat-style plots to seize it back.
I don’t see where he said he was speaking on behalf of the Trump team. This looks to me like a manufactured story. Did you watch the video?
The guy gave his opinion and then the reporter asked the Trump team for comment. The Trump team merely said he isn’t speaking for them. Bingo, sensationalist headline to push a narrative. And anyone with half a brain knows that Crimea is gone and I heard nothing in the video controversial.
The vote to join the Russian Federation was absolutely legitimate.
