Trump Warns Putin Not To ‘Escalate’ War; NATO Says ‘Troops Would Be In Ukraine If Not For Russia’s…’

NEW: Kremlin denies Trump and Putin spoke by phone, calling the Washington Post article 'false information' - RIA

US President-elect Donald Trump recently discussed the Ukraine war with Russian President Vladimir Putin, urging de-escalation amid ongoing conflict. Trump reportedly expressed his interest in a peaceful resolution and hinted at a possible territorial settlement, an approach sparking mixed reactions. While some Ukrainian officials saw potential for diplomacy, Trump's stance has raised concerns about a shift in US support for Ukraine, further suggested by social media posts hinting at funding cuts. Amid these signals, outgoing President Joe Biden plans to meet with Trump to advocate for continued US aid to Ukraine, warning that withdrawal would destabilise Europe. Meanwhile, NATO’s top military official, Admiral Rob Bauer, stated that alliance forces might have been deployed to Ukraine if not for Russia’s nuclear capabilities, highlighting the tense nuclear dimension of the ongoing crisis.
