Trump calls for immediate ceasefire: Now is Putin's time to act!

The focus of political attention is currently the Ukraine conflict, which Donald Trump vehemently wants to end. The future US president met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Saturday to discuss a possible ceasefire. Amid dramatic losses - almost 600,000 Russian soldiers are said to be wounded or killed - Trump called for an "immediate ceasefire" and the start of negotiations. He stressed that both Russia and Ukraine are in a "weakened state" and that it is up to Putin to act now while the world waits for a solution.

Urgent appeal for peace

Trump underscored the urgency of ending the fighting, warning that the conflict could escalate "into something much bigger and much worse" if no action is taken. He noted that Ukraine is also suffering heavy losses and is seeking an agreement to end the "madness." On his Truth Social platform, Trump appealed: “Too many lives have been unnecessarily wasted, too many families destroyed.” Trump, speaking of his experiences with Russian President Vladimir Putin, left open how he could end the war within 24 hours - a statement that mobilized his voters during the campaign.

Chancellor Karl Nehammer of Austria welcomed Trump in Paris and reaffirmed the close partnership between Austria and the USA. He offered Ukraine to use it to conduct peace negotiations, showing that European politicians are also interested in a quick solution to the conflict. According to Trump, China could also play a role in ending the war as relations between Beijing and Moscow remain strong. According to VOL.AT, there are concerns that Trump could potentially negotiate with Putin over Ukraine's heads to bring about an end to the conflict.
