Can Trump end the war in 24 hours?
Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that if he wins the election, he will stop the war in Ukraine and could do it even "within 24 hours." In an interview with the American "The Wall Street Journal," Trump declared that he even warned Putin against starting the war. "Vladimir, if you go to Ukraine, I will hit you so hard that you won't even believe it. I will hit you right in the middle of f(...) Moscow. We are friends. I don't want to do this, but I have no choice," Trump reportedly said.
The Kremlin also commented on Trump's victory. Dmitry Medvedev suggested that Trump would suspend the support the USA provides to Ukraine. "As a businessman to the core, he mortally dislikes spending money on various hangers–on and stupid hanger-on allies," he wrote. He emphasized that the goals of the special military operation will remain unchanged and will be achieved.
