Donald Trump has already walked back on one of his most important campaign promises—when the war in Ukraine will end. “I would fix that within 24 hours. And, if I win, before I get into the office, I will have that war settled. A hundred percent sure,” Trump said on Hannity in 2023. It’s been over 48 hours since Trump won the presidential election, and there’s no end in sight for the conflict. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Trump actually does not have a specific plan to get Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian president Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table, and is fielding competing ideas from advisers and allies. He has relentlessly criticized Joe Biden for giving funding and arms to Ukraine, and called Zelensky the “greatest salesman.” Trump never offered a solution on the campaign trail to the conflict, which has been ongoing since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. “I can’t give you those plans because if I give you those plans, I’m not going to be able to use them,” the president-elect said in September.
