Trump’s ‘STOP’ message for Russia’s Putin echoes Biden’s ‘don’t’ from 2022

President Donald Trump has a strong message for Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the ongoing airstrikes on Ukraine – “STOP!” This echoes a similar sentiment expressed by former President Joe Biden in 2022, where he repeatedly warned Putin against using chemical or nuclear weapons in the conflict.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his displeasure with the Russian strikes on Kyiv, calling them unnecessary and poorly timed. He urged Putin to halt the attacks, emphasizing the high death toll of 5,000 soldiers per week. Trump’s message underscores the urgent need for a peace deal to be reached in order to end the devastating violence.

This situation is reminiscent of a conversation Biden had during an interview with CBS News three years ago. When asked about the possibility of Putin using chemical or tactical nuclear weapons, Biden emphatically responded with a simple yet powerful “Don’t. Don’t. Don’t.” He emphasized the catastrophic consequences such actions would have, likening it to a change in the face of war not seen since World War II.

The recent attack on Ukraine resulted in the tragic deaths of at least 10 individuals and left around 90 others injured, including children. Despite claims of productive talks with Putin from the Trump administration, a lasting peace deal has yet to be secured since Russia’s invasion in February 2022.

There is growing concern within the administration that the U.S. may need to reconsider its efforts to broker a peace deal if significant progress is not made by both Ukraine and Russia. White House envoy Steve Witkoff is currently in Moscow for discussions with Putin, highlighting the ongoing diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the conflict.

As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize diplomacy and work towards a resolution that will bring peace and stability to the region. The stakes are high, and the international community is closely watching the developments in Ukraine.
