Kyiv is ready to make a deal with Moscow to stop the war in Ukraine, and Russian President Vladimir Putin should make efforts toward negotiating a truce, United States President-elect Donald Trump said early Sunday.
"There should be an immediate cease-fire and negotiations should begin" in order to "stop the madness," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "Too many lives are being so needlessly wasted, too many families destroyed, and if it keeps going, it can turn into something much bigger, and far worse," he said.
"I know Vladimir well. This is his time to act. China can help. The World is waiting!”

Doubt much will happen before "the Big Guy" leaves the White House -
too much "aid" at stake...

The unspoken item here (well, one of them) is that Ukraine would have to have strong security in one way or another. Who provides that, that Russia would accept? And who on earth would and could effectively patrol a DMZ to be set up? We know the UN is useless in such situations, even if much smaller areas.

Putin isn’t going to have much of a choice but to negotiate with President Trump and end the war.

What were Putin's original goals again?
Capture all of Ukraine - FAIL
Stop NATO from expanding to Russia's borders - FAIL
"Remove Nazis" from Ukraine - FAIL
Not alarm Europe to the Russian menace - FAIL
Overall, sounds like a FAILED mission!

President Trump does not want to spend his 4-year term dealing with Putin’s nonsense. Putin will be forced to negotiate an end to the war.
To: marcusmaximus
Implicit in that statement is the assumption that Putin will still be in power by the time President Trump regains power.
Putin still in power is not a given, especially since the inglorious retreat from Syria

President Trump’s statement this morning was also directed to the Russian people, politicians and oligarchs who also want the war to end.
To: Timber Rattler
“NO NATO for you, you little dipsh!t.”
