Trump has already spoken to Putin: “Don’t escalate to war”

Future US president reminded Russian president that US has a lot of military in Europe. Ukraine denies newspaper information.

The newly elected president of the United States advised his Russian counterpart to do not escalate the war in Ukrainethe newspaper said, referring to a telephone conversation between Donald Trump e Vladimir Putin.

The newspaper indicates that Trump reminded the Russian leader of considerable military presence that the United States has in Europe and expressed its interest in holding conversations to address “the resolution of the war in Ukraine soon”.

During the election campaign, the Republican candidate promised that he would reach an agreement to end the Ukrainian war in just 24 hours, but without ever detailing how he would do it.

Analysts pointed to the possibility of ceding part of Ukrainian territory to Russia, something unacceptable to Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky.

According to The Washington Post, the Ukrainian government will have been informed of the phone call between Trump and Putin and did not object to the conversation.

But Ukraine has already denied this information: “The news that the Ukrainian side was informed in advance of the alleged phone call is false. Consequently, Ukraine could not have supported or opposed the phone call”, reacted Heorhii Tykhyi, spokesman for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in the agency.

However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov considered a “exaggeration” Trump’s claim that he will put an end to the conflict in Ukraine “in 24 hours”.

Since winning Tuesday’s elections, the Republican has already held around 70 phone calls with world leaders, including one with Zelensky, who also had that of tycoon Elon Musk.

On Thursday, Putin publicly congratulated Trump on his electoral victory against Kamala Harris and considered him “brave” for his response to the assassination attempt at an election rally in July.

Outgoing US President Joe Biden plans accelerate the sending of armas to Ukraine so he can deliver the remaining six billion dollars of aid approved by Congress before the end of his term.

Trump, who will take office on January 20, has been very critical of the shipment of weapons to Ukraine.
