“There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin. 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,” Trump wrote.
The war in Ukraine must end and the shooting stop immediately, said President-elect Donald Trump in a statement Sunday.
Trump, in late night social media postings that came following the apparent demise of President Bashar al-Assad’s Russian-backed regime in Syria, said that now is the time for an end to the war in Ukraine.
“There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin. 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,” Trump wrote.
The former president noted the war — which will enter its third year this February — has caused at least 400,000 Ukrainian casualties, and that “close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead, in a war that should never have started, and could go on forever.
