April 29, 2025 — In the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s call for a three-day ceasefire in Ukraine, former U.S. President Donald Trump once again demanded a permanent resolution to the ongoing conflict. Addressing a crowd at a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump described Putin’s ceasefire proposal as a “welcome gesture,” but stressed that temporary measures are not enough.
“We need to stop the killing — not just for three days, but forever,” Trump said. “People across the world are tired of these endless, senseless wars.”
The proposed truce, expected to commence later this week, has received a mixed reaction on the global stage. While some nations have cautiously welcomed the move, Ukrainian authorities remain wary, referencing previous ceasefires that ultimately collapsed.
Throughout his recent speeches and campaign appearances, Trump has consistently pledged that, if given the opportunity, he could negotiate a swift end to the war — vowing to secure peace within 24 hours of returning to office.
