Trump’s Bold Bid to Broker Ukraine-Russia Ceasefire by Easter
Former US President Donald Trump reportedly plans to push Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into agreeing to a ceasefire with Russia by Easter, according to a leaked report. If re-elected this November, Trump aims to broker a peace deal within his first 100 days back in office, potentially freezing the ongoing conflict.
Inside Trump’s ‘100-Day Peace Plan’
Sources say Trump intends to use tough diplomatic and financial pressure on Kyiv — including possibly cutting U.S. military aid — to force Ukraine to negotiate. The plan prioritises de-escalation over endless warfare, which Trump has slammed as a costly strain on America’s resources.

What Trump’s Strategy Could Look Like
- Freeze the frontline where Russian and Ukrainian forces currently stand.
- Push Ukraine into ceasefire talks, even if it means compromising on territory.
- Reassess U.S. military aid — potentially scaling it back or halting support.
- Engage Russia diplomatically to secure promises of de-escalation.
Trump has long criticised President Biden’s handling of the Ukraine conflict, arguing the war might have been prevented under his watch. He has also praised Russian President Vladimir Putin, claiming Putin wouldn’t have invaded if Trump was still in charge.
Ukraine and Allies Push Back
President Zelensky has flatly rejected any talks that involve ceding Ukrainian land. A Ukrainian spokesperson made it clear:
“Ukraine has no intention of agreeing to any ceasefire that compromises our sovereignty. We will continue to defend our country, regardless of external political pressures.”
European allies fear a forced ceasefire could let Russia regroup and strike again. Meanwhile, the Biden administration remains committed to bolstering Ukraine with fresh military aid.
Global Fallout and What’s Next
Critics warn a ceasefire without a Russian withdrawal would hand Putin a win and betray Ukraine’s sacrifices. Yet some in Washington back Trump’s push for a quicker end, citing war fatigue and rising costs.
With the US election looming in November, America’s Ukraine policy hangs in balance. Trump’s return could reshape the global response to the war — but whether Kyiv will accept his peace terms remains a big question.
Trump hasn’t officially confirmed the leaked plan but hasn’t denied his aim to end the war fast. As Ukraine keeps fighting, the world watches to see if Trump’s peace push takes off — and what the price might be.
