Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to meet with President-elect Donald Trump “at any time” to discuss an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine, he said Thursday.

In a strong divergence from the current administration’s strategy of aiding Ukraine “as long as it takes,” as many Biden administration officials have said, Trump has said he wants to end the conflict as quickly as possible to end the bloodshed on both sides, which would seemingly entail forcing Ukraine to accept a deal more favorable to Moscow.
