Trump's key advisers present plan to end Russia's war in Ukraine

Two of Donald Trump's key advisers have drawn a plan to end Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine if he wins this year's presidential election.

This was reported by Reuters, Ukrinform reports.

The plan envisages military aid to Ukraine only if Kyiv enters into peace talks with Moscow.

At the same time, the United States will warn Moscow that any refusal to negotiate will lead to stronger support for Kyiv from Washington, said retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, one of Trump's national security advisers.

According to the plan developed by Kellogg and Fred Fleitz, who both served as Trump's National Security Council chiefs of staff during his 2017-2021 cadence, peace talks will be based on a ceasefire along the existing front line.

The advisers presented their strategy to Trump, who responded favorably, Fleitz said. "I'm not claiming he agreed with it or agreed with every word of it, but we were pleased to get the feedback we did," he said.

However, Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said that only statements made by Trump or authorized members of his campaign should be considered official.

The strategy outlined by Kellogg and Fleitz is the most detailed plan drawn up by Trump’s team, who has said he can quickly end the war in Ukraine if he defeats President Joe Biden in the Nov. 5 election.

However, such a proposal would represent a dramatic change in the U.S. stance on the war and would face opposition from European allies as well as within the Republican Party.

As reported, former US President Donald Trump said his opponent Joe Biden should never have promised Ukraine the possibility of NATO membership.
