Trump demands immediate ceasefire: a way to peace in Ukraine?
The designated US President Donald Trump called for an immediate end of the fights in the Ukraine conflict on December 8, 2024 on his Truth Social platform. After a meeting with the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj in Paris, Trump expressed that Selenskyj would "like to achieve an agreement" in order to end the "madness" of the war. In his message, he spoke out for an "immediate ceasefire" and the admission of negotiations between Kiev and Moscow. "Too many human lives have been wasted unnecessarily, and if things go on, it could become something bigger and worse," he warned. The Republican also emphasized that China could help with the negotiations and that his acquaintance with Wladimir Putin was decisive for the action, as Today.at reported .
US aid for Ukraine under pressure
In the meantime, Trump indicated in an interview with NBC that the United States could probably shorten the help for Ukraine under its future government. These statements come at a time when the support of the United States for Ukraine has become uncertain in the face of the intensified war. Trump said: "Possibly. Yes, probably, certainly" when he was asked for possible cuts. This raises questions of what future support for Ukraine will look like and whether the targeted ceasefire can actually be realized, such as Br.de reported .Trump's words follow report that Russia is in a weakened condition due to massive losses in Ukraine. He explained that almost 600,000 Russian soldiers were injured or died. This is supported by Selenskyj's statement that 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been lost since the beginning of the war. The developments in Ukraine and the pursuit of peace are therefore facing major challenges, while the international community eagerly awaits how the Situation will develop under Trump.
