Trump offers to help end Russia-Ukraine war in Putin call, Kremlin says

Former US President Donald Trump offered to help resolve the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine during a recent phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the Kremlin. The conversation reportedly lasted for nearly 90 minutes.

Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov disclosed Trump's offer, stating that the former president expressed his willingness to mediate or assist in finding a resolution to the war. This initiative from Trump, who has previously expressed skepticism about the level of US aid to Ukraine, adds a new dynamic to the international efforts, or lack thereof, to end the hostilities.

The report from the Kremlin positions Trump as a potential peacemaker, a role he has often sought to portray himself in. The nearly 90-minute call suggests a substantial discussion between the two leaders, though the specifics of Trump's proposed assistance remain unclear. The ongoing war in Ukraine has seen numerous diplomatic efforts, none of which have yet led to a lasting peace agreement.
