Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday urged former President Donald Trump to reveal details of an apparent plan that the 2024 Republican presidential front-runner claims would end the war in Ukraine “within 24 hours.”
Trump, 77, has openly boasted in several interviews and campaign events that, if elected president next year, he would lead peace negotiations between Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin and resolve the conflict in one day.
The former commander in chief, however, has declined to provide details on the approach he would take to ending the nearly 19-month war.
“Now you can publicly share your idea, without wasting time, without losing people, and say, ‘My formula is to stop the war and stop all this tragedy and stop Russian aggression,’” Zelensky told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “And he said, how do you see it, how to expel the Russians from our land. Otherwise, he will not be presenting the global idea of peace.”

“So [if] The idea is how to take part of our territory and give it to Putin, that is not the formula for peace,” said the Ukrainian leader.
Since at least February, Trump has been touting his secret plan to resolve the war.
