Trump Claims 24-Hour End to Ukraine War, Kremlin Denies Putin Call Amid NATO Concerns

Nov 11, 2024, 08:11 PM

President-elect Donald Trump has claimed he can end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours, sparking speculation and concern about his approach. Trump's assertion hinges on the groundwork he lays and his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, the Kremlin has denied any recent phone call between Trump and Putin following the U.S. presidential election. Analysts suggest that Trump's plan might involve diplomatic efforts or a dramatic resolution, but it remains uncertain how he intends to achieve this without significant concessions to Moscow. NATO members are reportedly conspiring to stop Trump's peace efforts, and former MI6 Russia Desk head Chris Steele has expressed skepticism about Putin's willingness to bend to such a deal.
