Trump's Diplomatic Calls: The Pursuit of Peace

US President-elect Donald Trump discussed the Ukraine conflict and international peace with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Following his election victory, Trump engaged over 70 world leaders in diplomacy. Trump's intention is to prevent any Ukraine crisis escalation before assuming office, emphasizing America's strategic military position in Europe.

In a recent development, US President-elect Donald Trump engaged in a critical phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin concerning the war in Ukraine, as per media reports on Sunday.

Trump, who emerged victorious in the recent presidential elections, has already communicated with over 70 global leaders, including initial calls to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Discussions with Putin centered on the European peace goal, with Trump expressing eagerness for further dialogues aimed at resolving Ukraine's ongoing conflict, according to sources cited by The Washington Post.

Amidst these diplomatic engagements, a former US official indicated Trump's desire to avert starting his term with a Ukraine crisis, possibly exacerbated by Russian aggression, thereby motivating him to keep the situation from escalating.
