I am sure he can find a way out

Astana: Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it clear that he is taking seriously former US President Donald Trump's claim that 'I can stop the war in Ukraine.'

Addressing the regional security council held here, Vladimir Putin said, “Trump has said that if he wins the presidential election (in America) on November 5, he will immediately find a solution to the Ukraine war.” He actually wants to stop the Ukraine war. We are taking his idea (of ending the Ukraine war) seriously.

In April, The Washington Post reported that Trump had privately devised a peace plan that would allow Putin to retain control of Crimea, which he took in 2014, as well as allow Ukraine to retain control of the Donbass, which has been under Russian control since then (during the war). Trump has urged Trump to join the talks.

Reuters also reported that two key Trump advisers said Ukraine should be pressured to accept the plan, adding, 'If you don't accept the plan, the US will cut off military aid.'

It is noteworthy that in this address, President Putin shrugged off the 'hush-money' cases against Trump and said, 'This is a political tug-of-war, so nothing more than that.' Along with this, Putin also 'raised' the idea that if Trump becomes careless, it will affect America's democracy. He also said, 'The whole world knows that the judicial system is also being linked to internal politics through legal proceedings against Trump. Their (American) leadership will burn democracy underground in this way.'

It is noteworthy that according to the last pre-poll survey, the Trump-Biden race is far ahead.

On the other hand, observers believe that both (Russia and Ukraine) are really tired of the war and are looking for a way out. So the best way is that both should accept Trump's proposal.
