Former President Donald Trump proclaimed yesterday his intention to personally spearhead efforts to terminate the hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, a bitter struggle that has persisted for over three years. “I’m acquainted with both President Zelensky and President Putin,” Trump declared during a media briefing at his lavish Florida estate. “I possess the ability to halt this warfare within 24 hours. They require someone skilled at negotiating agreements, and that’s my specialty.” Trump’s unexpected intervention arrives as combat intensifies in eastern Ukraine. Russian military units recently launched an offensive near Pokrovsk, placing Ukrainian defenders under tremendous strain.
