Stop the battle go home to families, US President calls for end of Russia-Ukraine conflict

Donald Trump calls for immediate end to Russia-Ukraine conflict, telling both sides to "stop at the battle line" and return to their families amid ongoing peace efforts.

"Stop at the battle line and both sides should go home, go to their families, stop the killing, and that should be it. - Donald Trump"

Florida, October 18

US President Donald Trump on Friday said that in his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, he asked both the parties to stop the conflict.

Trump said that they were there to save lives mainly, and stop thousands from dying everyday.

"I met with President Zelenskyy today and we had a very good meeting, very cordial meeting. They should stop the war immediately. You go by the battle line, wherever it is. Otherwise, it's too complicated. You'll never be able to figure it out. Stop at the battle line and both sides should go home, go to their families, stop the killing, and that should be it. Stop right now at the battle line. I told that to President Zelenskyy. I told it to President Putin," he said.

Trump said that the ammunition is paid for by NATO, and they are mainly here to save lives.

"We're not losing people, we're not spending money, we're getting paid for the ammunition and missiles and everything else... and we've made a very good deal with NATO... that's not what we're in this for. We're in it to save thousands of lives every week," he said.

Trump said that US First Lady Melania Trump felt strongly for the children there suffering due to the conflict.

"She just felt very strongly about the children and she's done a really good job in bringing it to the fore... She thinks about the children all the time," he said.

Trump wrongly claimed that India will stop buying Russian oil.

"India is not going to be buying Russian oil anymore, and Hungary is sort of stuck because they have one pipeline... and they're inland -- they don't have sea... but India will not be buying oil from Russia," he said.

Trump further said that there will again be a meeting probably with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelenskyy, and that they are making progress.

"I would say most likely it's going to be a double meeting... but we will have the President Zelenskyy, in touch. It's an honor to be with a very strong leader, a man who has been through a lot, and a man who I've gotten to know very well... President Zelenskyy of Ukraine has endured a lot... I think we're making great progress," he said.

Trump is wrong about India stopping Russian oil purchases. Our energy security comes first. We have to do what's best for our economy and people. The West can't dictate our foreign policy.

As an Indian, I appreciate any effort towards peace. But the solution can't be that simple - just "stop at the battle line." What about sovereignty? What about justice for Ukraine? Complex problems need thoughtful solutions.

The focus on saving lives is important, but the comment about India's oil purchases shows how little understanding there is of global energy dynamics. Every country has to prioritize its own needs first.

War is never the answer. As Indians, we know the value of peace and diplomacy. Hope both sides can find a middle ground. The world needs less conflict and more cooperation. 🇮🇳

While I appreciate the peace efforts, the statement about India shows how Western leaders often make assumptions about other countries without proper consultation. India will decide what's best for India.
