President-elect Donald Trump has made a bold appeal for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, urging global powers to prevent further escalation of the conflict. Addressing the crisis, Trump emphasized the human cost, stating, “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.”
Calling on Russian President Vladimir Putin directly, he declared, “I know Vladimir well. This is his time to act.” Trump also highlighted China’s potential role in brokering peace, adding, “China can help. The World is waiting!”
The statement has drawn international attention, with many speculating on the potential for renewed diplomatic efforts under Trump’s leadership. Analysts suggest that Trump’s outreach could mark a turning point in the ongoing conflict, provided global stakeholders step up to support mediation.
