Trump calls for a peaceful solution to Ukraine conflict

"It doesn’t make sense that Russia and Ukraine aren’t sitting down and working out some kind of an agreement," Trump said.

"If they don’t do it soon, there will be nothing left but death, destruction, and carnage," said Trump.

"This is a war that never should have happened, but it did. The solution can never be as good as it would have been before the shooting started, but there is a solution, and it should be figured out now — not later — when everyone will be DEAD!" Trump concluded.

Talks between the two countries reportedly began to stall in mid-March.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has now surpassed 50 days, with the UN saying over 2,000 civilians have been killed in the conflict so far.

According to CNBC, The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said Monday that the death toll in Ukraine is likely higher.

Trump’s statement comes as Russia reportedly launched a new phase of the war in Ukraine, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov saying on Tuesday that the Kremlin’s goal was to achieve the "full liberation of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics," according to NBC News.
