It is not possible to end the Russia-Ukraine war overnight, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said at a press conference on Nov. 6 in reference to statements by Donald Trump.

Trump, who was recently reelected U.S. president, claimed during his campaign that if he returns to the White House, he will end Russia’s war in Ukraine within "24 hours." He hinted at his message again while delivering his victory speech, telling his cheering supporters, "I’m going to stop the wars.”

"We have repeatedly said that the United States can help end the conflict in Ukraine. This, of course, cannot be done overnight," Peskov said. He added that he is not aware of any plans by Russian President Vladimir Putin to congratulate President-elect Trump.

Trump's plan to end the war within "24 hours" and get the U.S. "out" of Ukraine would likely benefit Russia by ceding Ukrainian territory and creating autonomous regions in the east, according to reporting in October.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky also previously voiced skepticism about Trump's ability to end the war within 24 hours, at least "without giving our land to Putin."

If Trump does slash U.S. aid to Ukraine, the American economy would take a hit, as the U.S. defense industry has received over $50 billion in investment due to America's support of Ukraine, with billions sent to states that helped Trump secure the White House again like Arkansas, Alabama, and Florida.

Zelensky congratulated Trump on his victory in the U.S. presidential election, voicing hope for "strong bipartisan support for Ukraine in the United States."

If anything this will make the Ukrainians take more drastic measures. They might just think “fuck it” and start hitting anywhere they want.
