Former U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly claimed during his election campaign that he would end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours if elected. However, after taking office, he has not been able to fulfill this promise. In a recent interview on the TV show ‘Full Measure,’ Trump clarified his statement, saying, “When I said that, I was somewhat joking. But what I meant was that I wanted to end this conflict, and I believe I can do it.”

This admission adds to Trump’s history of exaggerated claims. Critics argue that the Russia-Ukraine war is a complex geopolitical issue that cannot be resolved with simple negotiations. While Trump’s special envoy recently visited Moscow for diplomatic talks, no agreements have been made yet. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has consistently stated that peace talks cannot happen without Ukraine’s involvement. Trump’s latest remarks have sparked new doubts about the credibility of his earlier promises.
