The US President-elect says the time is ripe for an immediate ceasefire and negotiations between Kiev and Moscow.
Ukraine “would like to” make a peace deal with Russia, US President-elect Donald Trump has signaled after meeting with Vladimir Zelensky in Paris. In a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, Trump called for an immediate ceasefire and negotiations between Moscow and Kiev.
Trump’s remarks came after reports emerged of a regime change in Syria, Russia’s ally in the Middle East, where jihadists claimed to have taken over the Syrian capital Damascus and toppled President Bashar Assad’s 24-year rule. Trump speculated that this happened because Assad’s “protector,” Russia, “was not interested in protecting him any longer.”
“[Russia] lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine, where close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead, in a war that should never have started, and could go on forever, Trump stated, claiming that Russia is currently “in a weakened state… because of Ukraine and a bad economy.”
“Likewise, Zelensky and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness. They have ridiculously lost 400,000 soldiers, and many more civilians. There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin,” the President-elect said, adding that if the conflict is not resolved, “it can turn into something much bigger, and far worse.”
Trump made the statements after three-way talks with Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Saturday. In a post on X, Macron said that the meeting was focused on “common action for peace and security.” Also on X, Zelensky described the talks as “good and productive” and focused on the fact that “we all want this war to end as soon as possible and in a just way.”
Zelensky previously insisted that the only viable path to what he calls a “just peace” with Russia is his ten-point ‘peace formula’, which includes the “complete withdrawal” of Russian forces from former Ukrainian territories and the restoration of the country’s 1991 borders. However, he has changed tack over the past few weeks, signaling he could agree to a ceasefire without the territories if Kiev became a NATO member.
Moscow has maintained that any settlement must begin with Ukraine withdrawing its forces from Russian territory, including the former Ukrainian regions, ensuring the rights of Russian-speakers and becoming a neutral state.
Trump has repeatedly promised that he would end the Ukraine conflict within “24 hours” of taking office, but has never explained how. Recent media reports claimed that he could push for a freeze in fighting along the current line of contact and force both sides to sit down for talks using US aid to Kiev as leverage.
How’s that pro Trump Derangement Syndrome going?
One mans’ rebels are yesterdays terrorists.
We are being set up for who knows what, with Turkish, Israeli and US backed terrorists stirring s*** in Syria. And now he’s buddy buddy with the Ukrainian stooge and Macron the sold out soul.
Lavender for all anti-zionists!! Thanks Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, and of course Trump. U the f face
Russia has 600,000 casualties to Ukraines 400,000?
Yeah, Nah.
Your hand was covered with blood when u looked at it after you lowered it from your ear too, aye ballbag?
How are people still thinking he will keep his word on any of his promises?
Dont forget that line…
Russia is currently “in a weakened state… because of Ukraine and a bad economy.”
Yeah right.
Several questions Mr Trump, how can you back that up substantively?
Shall we talk militarily? How many hypersonic icbm’s has USA that have recently vaporized buildings to dust in the blink of an eye? Russia has weapons that are unstoppable and are selectively using them.
USA economy better than Russia? More countries are ditching greenback when paying for oil, and USA power monopoly is therefore diminishing. Russian economy is growing.
Deepstate/Uniparty/ USA Corp – they have differing figureheads like Trump and while there may be superficial differences, but ultimately achieve the same results for The Party.
My pick is that Trump won’t bring radical messianic salvation that some people think he will.
Or I should say “messianic like salvation”

The Duran with Alexander Mercouris.
Excellent
Just a few weeks back, Macron against his constituents was rallying Europe for WWIII. Now he is hosting peace talks.
It would be comical except for the fact that just so many have lost sons, brothers and fathers.
The amount of people that have been maimed and killed on both sides of this because of the blood lust of the global DS is horrific. If or when the DS is removed, then this sort of thing will be relegated to the history books and will hopefully stay there.
