US President-elect Donald Trump has announced his intention to engage in dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to seek an end to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump emphasized the need to stop the 'carnage' of the conflict, which he described as devastating, with cities reduced to rubble and significant casualties on both sides. He has not provided specifics on the peace plan but has indicated that some progress has been made in his efforts to resolve the conflict. Trump also mentioned that he has not invited Zelenskyy to his January inauguration but would welcome him if he chose to attend. The situation in Ukraine is seen as more complex than other global conflicts, and Trump has criticized the Biden administration's decision to allow Ukraine to use American-supplied weapons to strike inside Russia, suggesting he might reverse this policy.
