US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has vowed to put an end on the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

Trump who had spoken to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky via a telephone conversation Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform, “I appreciate President Zelensky for reaching out because I, as your next President of the United States, will bring peace to the world and end the war that has cost so many lives and devastated countless innocent families.

“Both sides will be able to come together and negotiate a deal that ends the violence and paves a path forward to prosperity.”

The United States has provided tens of billions of dollars in military assistance for Kyiv since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 — though a Trump victory in the November election would put Washington’s continued support into question.

Zelensky, who confirmed the call, congratulated Trump on formally becoming the Republican Party’s presidential nominee, as well as wishing the 78-year-old well after an attempt on his life a week ago.

“We agreed with President Trump to discuss at a personal meeting what steps can make peace fair and truly lasting,” Zelensky said in a post on X.

“I noted the vital bipartisan and bicameral American support for protecting our nation’s freedom and independence,” he said.

Trump has repeatedly claimed he will end the war very quickly, without offering details as to how.
