Trump is serious about achieving a ceasefire in Ukraine

According to RIA Novosti, NBC News reported that US President-elect Donald Trump is very serious about achieving a ceasefire in Ukraine on the first day of the new administration.

“Trump is serious about getting a ceasefire on day one,” NBC News quoted a source as saying.

According to NBC News, Trump’s team is working to achieve a cessation of hostilities that would pave the way for peace talks. NBC News points out that there are still serious problems on the way to achieving this result.

Meanwhile, advisers to US President-elect Donald Trump – including candidates for key positions – have held talks with representatives of the current US administration and Ukrainian leaders to try to end the conflict between Moscow and Kiev. However, they focused on exchanging information and did not discuss strategies to end the conflict or secure a ceasefire.

According to NBC News, Mr. Trump himself did not reveal any details, but he mentioned that he would use support for Ukraine as a lever to put pressure on Russia.

Earlier, in an interview with French magazine Paris Match, Mr. Trump called resolving the conflict in Ukraine his top priority.
