The new US President-elect Donald Trump hopes that he can end the war in Ukraine in six months. He announced this on January 7 at a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
“I hope it will be done in six months,” he said .
This is not the first time Trump has spoken about his plans to end the war in Ukraine. Previously, he claimed that he would do this in 24 hours - on the very first day after taking office as President of the United States.

At a press conference on January 7, Trump also expressed his understanding of Russia’s position, which considers Ukraine’s desire to join NATO to be a threat.
“For many years, even before Putin, Russia said that NATO should never be associated with Ukraine. It's like it was carved in stone. And then Biden said that Ukraine should be able to join NATO. Thus, Russia gets NATO right on its doorstep. I can understand their feelings about this,” Trump said .
He believes that current US President Joe Biden failed the negotiations on Ukraine and this led to a full-scale Russian invasion.
“When I heard Biden negotiate, I said it would end in war, and it turned out that way. Nobody knows more about NATO than me. If it weren't for me, NATO would not exist today. I saved NATO, but NATO is using us,” Trump said .

Trump has previously claimed that he is capable of reconciling Russia and Ukraine, citing his good relations with both Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky. He promised to organize negotiations between the parties immediately after the elections. At the same time, the elected president did not directly answer the question of whether he would like Ukraine to win the war.
Trump has repeatedly criticized the large allocation of funds to Ukraine, calling Zelensky the “greatest huckster” for his ability to negotiate aid with allies. According to a plan to end the war presented by Trump's advisers, his incoming administration could reduce support for Kyiv. Ukraine will be able to count on more American weapons only if it agrees to peace negotiations with Russia. At the same time, the plan makes demands on Moscow: if Russia continues to avoid negotiations, the United States will increase support for Ukraine.
Trump will be inaugurated on January 20. At a press conference in December 2024, he said that he did not invite Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to the inauguration ceremony, but added that the Ukrainian leader could come “if he wants.”
