Trump called for an "immediate ceasefire"
In his post, Donald Trump also mentioned the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria and the Syrian dictator's escape, stressing that Russian President Vladimir Putin has allegedly lost interest in supporting Assad.
Russia had no reason to be there. They lost interest in Syria because of Ukraine, where about 600,000 Russian soldiers died or were wounded in a war that should not have started and could continue indefinitely.

Too many lives wasted, too many families destroyed. If this continues, the war can turn into something much larger and more dangerous. I know Volodymyr well. This is his moment to act. China can contribute to this process, the US president-elect wrote.
