WASHINGTON, June 25 (Reuters) - Two key advisers to Donald Trump have presented him with a plan to end Russia's war in Ukraine - if he wins the Nov. 5 presidential election - that involves telling Ukraine it will only get more U.S. weapons if it enters peace talks. The United States would at the same time warn Moscow that any refusal to negotiate would result in increased U.S. support for Ukraine, retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, one of Trump's national security advisers, said in an interview.
Under the plan drawn up by Kellogg and Fred Fleitz, who both served as chiefs of staff in Trump's National Security Council during his 2017-2021 presidency, there would be a ceasefire based on prevailing battle lines during peace talks, Fleitz said.
They have presented their strategy to Trump, and the Republican presidential candidate responded favorably, Fleitz added. "I'm not claiming he agreed with it or agreed with every word of it, but we were pleased to get the feedback we did," he said.
Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said only statements made by Trump or authorized members of his campaign should be deemed official.
The strategy outlined by Kellogg and Fleitz is the most detailed plan yet by associates of Trump, who has said he could quickly settle the war in Ukraine if he beats President Joe Biden in the Nov. 5 election, though he has not said how he would do that.
The proposal would mark a big shift in the U.S. position on the war and would face opposition from European allies and within Trump's own Republican Party.
The Kremlin said any peace plan proposed by a possible future Trump administration would have to reflect the reality on the ground but that Russian President Vladimir Putin remained open to talks.

Here in the United States, every male must sign up to be drafted, even in peacetime. Here in the United States, everyone can own guns and learn how to use them to defend themselves and others.
In Ukraine, even during “war,” you get nothing expected.
Your post is humorous.
Geez. I wonder what the eminent Ukraine scholars Victoria Nuland (State Department dumbass), Marie Yovanovitch (Ambassador, I’m soooo important), and Alexander Vindman (Schiff’s traitor whistleblower) have to say about this? /sarc
Meanwhile in Ukraine, you get nothing expected. It's the 3rd year the rus are banging their heads against a wall simply because Reptilians are helping the “Nazis”.
No money for Ukraine until verifiable proof is provided implicating EVERY US government person receiving payments. Republicans must be included as they will block Trump actions and vote for impeachment at the first next opportunity.
