Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated, "We stand with Ukraine, and I support ending the fighting," emphasizing his desire to see hostilities between Russia and Ukraine brought to an end.
He noted that Ukraine has already received over $500 billion in aid.
Trump issued a stern warning: "If a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine is not reached, you will be surprised by the severity of the measures I will impose."
However, he expressed skepticism about a resolution in the near term, saying, "I don’t believe Russia and Ukraine will reach a deal anytime soon."
He recalled, "I stopped the war between India and Pakistan, and I hope the same can happen between Russia and Ukraine." Trump continued, "We will deal harshly with both Russia and Ukraine if they fail to reach an agreement."
Trump added, "I told Putin that the suffering must end and there should be a truce period." He also said, "Putin informed me that Russia will respond to the intense Ukrainian attack on its territory."
Trump concluded by expressing hope for an immediate peace deal, while admitting, "I believe the fighting will continue for some time."
