Trump Calls for Immediate End to Russia-Ukraine War: “Both Sides Should Go Home, Stop the Killing”

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has renewed his call for an immediate end to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, urging both nations to “go home” and “stop the killing.”
Speaking in a recent interview, Trump described the prolonged conflict as a “needless tragedy” that has caused immense suffering and global instability. He said the time had come for both sides to choose peace over bloodshed.
“Both sides should go home, go to their families, stop the killing, and that should be it,” Trump said. “It’s time to end this war. Too many lives have been lost already.”
The statement reflects Trump’s long-standing position that the war could have been avoided — and that, under his leadership, it would have ended swiftly. He has repeatedly criticized the Biden administration for what he calls a “weak and misguided” approach to the conflict.
Trump’s remarks have once again stirred debate among international observers. Supporters hailed his statement as a call for diplomacy and compassion, while critics dismissed it as overly simplistic and lacking a concrete plan for peace.
The war, now in its fourth year, has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced millions. Despite multiple peace efforts and global sanctions against Moscow, fighting continues across several fronts in eastern and southern Ukraine.
Trump, who is widely expected to make foreign policy a central theme in his campaign, has hinted that resolving the Russia-Ukraine war would be one of his first priorities if re-elected.
