Trump provided an intriguing response regarding the possibility of ending the war within 24 hours.

After the official inauguration ceremony, the new President of the United States, Donald Trump, arrived at the Oval Office of the White House. There, journalists reminded him of his promise to end the war between Russia and Ukraine "within 24 hours," to which he responded intriguingly.

"Well, it's only been half a day. I still have half a day left. We'll see," said the 47th President of the United States.

He also reaffirmed his commitment to ending the war between Russia and Ukraine, stating that it should never have started.

"We will try to do this (achieve the end of the war, – ed.) as soon as possible. You know, the war between Russia and Ukraine should never have begun," added Trump.

It is worth noting that in his inaugural address, Trump did not mention Ukraine at all. He focused on foreign and domestic policy, social issues, and American independence. The President stated that his administration would work for the benefit of the American people, prioritizing the interests of the United States.

The reaction of the Ukrainian and international community to Donald Trump's inaugural speech was mixed. Experts and public figures particularly highlighted the economic statements and the absence of any mention of Ukraine.

As reported by "Telegraph," Trump confirmed that he plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin as soon as possible. He promised that this would happen once reciprocal negotiations are established, and this process is already underway.
