Former US President Donald Trump has once again sparked debate over the Russia-Ukraine war after being asked whether he would consider visiting Ukraine to help ease tensions with Russia. Responding to the question, Trump did not give a direct commitment to travel but claimed that the conflict could be resolved through strong leadership and negotiation.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he believes the war could be brought to an end quickly if the right talks take place. While he avoided confirming any immediate plans to visit Ukraine, he stressed that discussions aimed at peace are “closer than many people think.” He added that resolving the conflict would require firm decisions and direct engagement with both sides.
Trump also reiterated his long-standing claim that the war would not have started if he were in office, arguing that his relationship with world leaders would have prevented the escalation. He suggested that dialogue with both Ukrainian and Russian leadership is essential, but acknowledged that certain unresolved issues continue to complicate the peace process.
The remarks come amid ongoing international efforts to reduce tensions and bring an end to the prolonged conflict, which has caused widespread destruction and humanitarian suffering. Trump’s comments have drawn mixed reactions, with supporters viewing them as confidence in diplomacy, while critics question the feasibility of a quick resolution without concrete action.
As the war continues, Trump’s stance adds another dimension to the global conversation on possible paths to peace, even as he stopped short of confirming whether a visit to Ukraine would play a role in his approach.
