Trump has never accepted that he would have to deal with the war as president. In his mind, it never happens and he should never have to answer questions in the hypothetical about it.
When you press him, he swears that he’ll end the whole thing in 24 hours but won’t tell you what you’re giving up.

Donald Trump doesn’t know how to stop [the war in Ukraine](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/russia-ukraine-war/), despite claiming he could end it on his first day as US president, Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
Mr Zelensky said such a deal would disrespect the sacrifices that Ukrainian soldiers have made, appease Vladimir Putin and encourage other dictators to invade their neighbours.
“Whichever president or vice-president raises this prospect, that ending the war hinges on cementing the status quo, with Ukraine simply giving up its land, should be held responsible for potentially starting a global war,” he said.
Mr Zelensky added that he had held more “positive” conversations with Mr Trump who he said had promised to continue to support Ukraine’s military.
“My feeling is that Trump doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how. With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it the less you understand,” he said.
Mr Zelensky’s intervention in US politics comes with polls showing Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, building a slender lead over Mr Trump ahead of the election in November.
Yet their supporters don’t care about it at all…in fact they want chaos and disorder

Vance may be radical, but he is neither righteous, tubular nor gnarly.

Let’s not forget that Trump tried to blackmail Ukraine by withholding aid until Zelensky investigated Biden.

Trump is going to stop the support for Ukraine so Russia can invade Ukraine.
That is Trump and Putin’s strategy. Partners in crime.

Trump will just accept whatever proposal Russia suggest.
You see, Putin flattered Trump by saying he was smart or something, and therefore he owes him allegiance.
Just look at the debate, Kamala insulted his ego by pointing at crowd sizes and his brain just crashed and he went into deranged shouting, and the opposite effect if its praised I suppose.
Utterly fucking insane that so many Americans can’t see this.

Zelensky knows that the probability of continued US aid to Ukraine will be much smaller under Trump/Vance than under Harris/Walz. Cheeto threatened to pull off NATO more than once during his first term ffs.

Trump dosnt know how to on a lot of things, ending a war is far beyond his reach

Sorry Zelenskyy, he does. Trump will just side with Russia and allow them to steamroll Urkraine.

I disagree. Trumps knows exactly how he would end the war. He would stop funding Ukraine and give Putin however much of Ukraine he wants and then support a puppet president installed by Putin. It’s actually much worse than “not knowing” how to end the war.
And Vance is a sycophant. He has no other discernible qualities.

Donald Trump doesn’t know how to stop [the war in Ukraine](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/russia-ukraine-war/), despite claiming he could end it on his first day as US president, Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
In his harshest criticism yet of the Republican presidential nominee, the Ukrainian president also described [Trump’s running mate JD Vance](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/09/15/jd-vance-create-springfield-pet-eating-immigration/) as “dangerous” and “too radical”.
“His message seems to be that Ukraine must make a sacrifice,” Mr Zelensky said of Mr Vance in an [interview with the New Yorker magazine](https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-new-yorker-interview/volodymyr-zelensky-has-a-plan-for-ukraines-victory) before he flew to the US to present his “Victory Plan” to the White House this week. “But I believe that we have shielded America from total war.”
Mr Vance has been criticised by supporters of Ukraine for [pushing a peace deal that consolidates the Kremlin’s control](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/07/20/our-existence-depends-on-us-election-result-ukrainian-mp/) over captured territory.
Mr Zelensky said such a deal would disrespect the sacrifices that Ukrainian soldiers have made, appease Vladimir Putin and encourage other dictators to invade their neighbours.
“Whichever president or vice-president raises this prospect, that ending the war hinges on cementing the status quo, with Ukraine simply giving up its land, should be held responsible for potentially starting a global war,” he said.
Mr Zelensky added that he had held more “positive” conversations with Mr Trump who he said had promised to continue to support Ukraine’s military.
Ukrainian officials have said they are concerned Trump would turn off the supply of [weapons Joe Biden has approved for Ukraine](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/09/04/ukraine-russia-war-latest-news23/), in an attempt to force Mr Zelensky to negotiate with Putin.
But the Ukrainian president insisted Putin could not be trusted and [Trump, despite his public stance](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/03/04/trump-gets-rapturous-reception-major-us-republican-conference/), would not be able to strike a quick deal to end the war.
“My feeling is that Trump doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how. With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it the less you understand,” he said.
Mr Zelensky’s intervention in US politics comes with polls showing Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, building a slender lead over Mr Trump ahead of the election in November.
Mr Zelensky began his tour of the US on Sunday with [a visit to a weapons factory in Pennsylvania](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2024/09/23/zelensky-begins-us-visit-at-ammunition-factory/) producing 155mm artillery shells to be sent to the frontlines in Ukraine, telling employees that “the democratic world can prevail” because of their work.
He is due to meet Mr Biden in the White House on Thursday to present his “Victory Plan”, which he will also share with Ms Harris and Trump.
