On November 10, US President-Elect Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin, advising him not to escalate the ongoing Ukraine war, according to a source cited by Reuters. Trump, who has criticized the scale of US military and financial support for Ukraine, has vowed to end the war but has not outlined specific plans. The conversation follows Putin’s praise for Trump on November 7. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has invited Trump to the Oval Office on November 13, where Biden will reaffirm his commitment to a peaceful transfer of power.

President Zelenskyy has expressed no knowledge of Trump’s plans to end the war, while media reports indicate that Trump, Zelenskyy, and Elon Musk held a conference call on November 8.
