Summary

Spain’s Foreign Minister José Luis Albares dismissed U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s claim of ending the Russia-Ukraine war “in 24 hours” as unrealistic, stating peace is unlikely while Vladimir Putin continues his aggression.

Albares warned that allowing Russia to succeed would escalate global dangers.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy similarly downplayed Trump’s promise.

Albares emphasized the need for a more realistic approach to resolving the conflict.

      I’d add: he’ll probably threaten to pull out of NATO if the rest of the countries continue arming/aiding Ukraine.
