Donald Trump backtracks on pledge to end Ukraine war in 24 hours as special envoy sets 100-day timeline

ABC  

Donald Trump will aim to end the war in Ukraine within 100 days of re-entering the White House, the president-elect's pick for special peace envoy has said. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy says a "new chapter" will begin when Mr Trump enters the White House. Trump says he understands Russia's NATO 'feelings' Mr Trump, who has repeatedly said he has good relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida this week his self-imposed 24-hour deadline on the conflict's resolution would be extended. Orysia Lutsevych, deputy director of the Russia and Eurasia Programme and head of the Ukraine Forum at the British foreign affairs think tank Chatham House, told the ABC a rushed peace deal carried significant risks and may be a "trap".
