I will sit down with Putin and Zelensky to get this war solved. If Biden authorizes US-Supplied missiles for Ukraine to use on Russia, a nuclear World War III will start. Since Biden is incompetent , I will have to put an end to this killing and prevent WWIII myself.

Zelensky Says Ukraine-Russia War Ends ‘Faster’ With Trump—Here’s What Trump Has Said About Ending Conflict

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday his country’s war with Russia would end “faster” with Donald Trump as U.S. president, though Trump—who previously claimed he could end the conflict in one day—and Vice President-elect JD Vance have often been critical of Ukraine during its yearslong conflict.

KEY FACTS

During a CNN town hall in May 2023, Trump said he would have Ukraine’s war with Russia “settled in one day, 24 hours,” by meeting with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelensky, both of whom Trump said have “weaknesses and they both have strengths,” though Trump did not provide details for his plans.

Trump also suggested European countries should provide more financial assistance to Ukraine.

While debating President Joe Biden in June, Trump claimed if the U.S. had a “real president,” Russia would never have invaded Ukraine, and Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director, said negotiating an end to the war was a “top priority” for Trump’s second administration.

In September, Trump claimed Ukraine would have benefitted from an earlier peace deal: “Any deal—the worst deal—would’ve been better than what we have now,” adding, “What deal can we make? [Ukraine is] demolished. The people are dead. The country is in rubble.”

Trump reportedly called Putin on Nov. 7, during which Trump advised the Russian president to not escalate Russia’s war with Ukraine and in private conversations, Trump has suggested he would support a deal where Russia would control the territory it captured during the conflict, according to the Washington Post, citing people familiar with the matter.

Trump’s transition team has discussed another peace deal for Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal reported, in which Ukraine would promise to not join NATO for at least 20 years, the U.S. would continue providing Ukraine with more weapons to prevent a future Russian attack and both Russia and Ukraine would agree to establish an 800-mile demilitarized zone patrolled by an unspecified peacekeeping force.

Zelensky, during a radio interview with Ukraine’s public broadcaster Suspilne, reportedly said Ukraine’s war with Russia will “end faster with the policy of [Trump’s administration] that will now lead the White House,” though he did not specify how. Zelensky admitted the situation in eastern Ukraine was “indeed difficult” and noted a “slow but steady pressure and advance of the Russians,” whom Zelensky claimed faced “terrible losses.”

WHAT HAS JD VANCE SAID ABOUT UKRAINE?

Vance has opposed plans for the U.S. to provide aid for Ukraine in recent years. During his senatorial campaign in 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, Vance said: “I’ve got to be honest with you, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another.” During a speech at the Heritage Foundation last year, Vance said while he admires the “brave Ukrainians,” he criticized the country for having the “most corrupt leadership and government in Europe and maybe the most corrupt leadership anywhere in the world.” In July, Vance said the American people “will not tolerate another endless war” while opposing $61 billion in military aid for Ukraine. In an interview with The New Yorker in September, Zelenksy called Vance “too radical” for having proposed a peace plan requiring Ukraine to give up its territory.

TANGENT

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke with Putin on Friday, marking the first conversation between the two leaders since Russia invaded Ukraine. Scholz called on Putin to end Russia’s war in Ukraine and to withdraw its troops. Zelensky criticized Scholz for contacting Putin, saying the German official had opened a “Pandora’s box.”

KEY BACKGROUND

Discussions calling for peace between Ukraine and Russia have ramped up this year. In May, Putin said he was prepared for a ceasefire in Ukraine that would recognize the current frontlines as Russian territory, though Zelensky, U.S. and other European officials have shut this plan down. Russia occupies about 18% of Ukraine as of Oct. 16, according to the Council on Foreign Relations, a U.S.-based think tank. After Trump was elected for a second term earlier this month, Putin reportedly signaled he was ready to speak with the president-elect about ending the war, though his demands were unchanged. Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Zelensky signed a decree declaring peace talks with Putin “impossible,” saying it was “clear and obvious” the Russian leader would try to annex Ukrainian territory. Zelensky has proposed a 10-point peace plan, which calls for Russia to restore Ukraine’s territorial integrity and withdraw all of its troops.

TOPLINE President-elect Donald Trump named Steven Cheung to be the White House communications director in his second term, elevating the longtime press aide after Cheung has reliably adopted the president-elect’s combative tone in public statements and denounced Trump’s political rivals.

KEY FACTS

Trump announced Cheung’s appointment Friday, with the president-elect describing Cheung and fellow nominee Sergio Gor—tapped to lead the Presidential Personnel Office—in a statement as “trusted Advisors since my first Presidential Campaign in 2016” who “have continued to champion America First principles.”

Cheung first joined Trump during his 2016 campaign and then became director of rapid response during Trump’s first presidency, leaving the White House in 2018 and creating a private firm that worked with Trump on his 2020 campaign.

Cheung served as director of communications in Trump’s latest presidential campaign, issuing many statements on behalf of the campaign and attacking Trump’s enemies in the same fiery tone the president-elect is known for, decrying Trump’s criminal cases as “witch hunts” and once saying in a statement to Forbes of President Joe Biden, “He can barely put two coherent sentences together and slowly shuffles around like he has a full diaper in his pants, often falling on his ass in front of the world.”

Prior to joining Trump’s 2016 campaign, Cheung led communications for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and between Trump’s 2020 and 2024 campaigns worked with other Republicans, including Caitlyn Jenner as she unsuccessfully ran for California governor, according to The New Yorker.

While he’s publicly known for his extreme rhetoric, The New Yorker notes Cheung is largely respected among press who have dealt with him and is regarded privately as a “pretty nice guy,” with Trump reportedly referring to him as “my sumo wrestler.”

CRUCIAL QUOTE

Cheung will “do whatever Trump says,” an unnamed campaign reporter told The New Yorker in March. “There are lines that are crossed that delight Trump but wouldn’t get you a job elsewhere. Cheung isn’t thinking beyond Trump.”

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Cheung’s role is not subject to Senate confirmation, so Cheung will be able to immediately start serving when Trump takes office on Jan. 20. The main public-facing speaker of the administration, the White House press secretary, is a separate role and Trump’s choice has not yet been announced.

TANGENT

Cheung is one of several key Trump allies who have ties to UFC, as the president-elect is also a fan of the fighting organization and professional wrestling. UFC President Dana White is a longtime Trump ally whom the president-elect even asked to take the microphone and speak right after the election was called for Trump last week. “No one deserves this more,” White said. Podcaster and UFC commentator Joe Rogan also endorsed Trump in the late days of the election, after Trump appeared on his podcast.

KEY BACKGROUND

Cheung is one of several aides involved with Trump’s third campaign who have been elevated to administration roles, with Trump also naming campaign manager Susie Wiles as his White House chief of staff, and the president-elect has also tapped other well-known—and controversial—allies like naming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary, Fox News host Pete Hegseth as defense secretary and former Rep. Matt Gaetz as attorney general. Cheung will take up the communications post after Trump went through several communications directors and four press secretaries during his first term—Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Stephanie Grisham and Kayleigh McEnany—and as the incoming president and his allies have continued to attack the mainstream press. Some of Trump’s allies have suggested the incoming Trump administration could retaliate against the press for its critical coverage of Trump, with former Trump aide Kash Patel—a rumored pick for FBI director—saying ahead of the election that a second Trump administration would go after people “not just in government but in the media.”

He said it wouldn't take him a week to resolve the crisis around the world......

And this is all that matters and not whether he appoints blacks in his cabinet or not.... Whether he's a racist or not.

If you're rejected in a land that isn't yours, go and find your root where you'll be accepted.


When Chidinma was outrightly rejected in South Africa, she came down to her homeland and she's been accepted and growing...

The Democrats would never allow Trump to be the presidential candidate for the 2024 election.

They are still bittered about the 2016 election loss.
