President-elect Donald Trump, who had during his campaign boasted he could end the Russia-Ukraine conflict in “24 hours”, vowed to “stop wars” in his victory speech on Wednesday morning at his campaign headquarters in Florida.
“We had no wars, for four years we had no wars. Except we defeated ISIS (Islamic State),” Trump said as he took to the stage at his home at the Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, Florida, to address the crowd of his supporters
“They said ‘He will start a war,’ I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars.”
However, he made no mention of Ukraine or Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy, though he had promised to stop the war in Ukraine “in 24 hours” in a highly publicised comment in June 2023 without elaborating how he intended to do that His running mate, J.D. Vance, has been vocally against further aid to Ukraine, prompting concerns that Washington’s current support for Ukraine against Moscow’s invasion could come to an end.
