Donald Trump, former US president and current candidate for presidency, has claimed in private conversations that he can stop Russia’s war against Ukraine by forcing Ukraine to give up occupied Crimea and Donbas.

Details: People familiar with Trump’s plans state that he had claimed that he could end the war by forcing Ukraine to cede some of its territories.

The WP states that accepting Russian control over parts of Ukraine would expand the reach of Putin’s dictatorship after what has been the biggest land war in Europe since World War II.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham states that he spends "100 percent of (his) time talking to Trump about Ukraine".

"The way you end this war to me is you make sure Ukraine gets into NATO and the EU," – Graham said.

In March Anton, who WP contacted by phone, said he hadn’t spoken with Trump in 18 to 24 months and denied knowing anything about Trump’s plan for Ukraine.

Background: Earlier Trump often boasted that in case he was chosen the president, he would end the war between Russia and Ukraine within 24 hours, but provided no details. »
