Trump will fix it. He is already working on a cease fire between Ukraine and Russia. He has stated the way to peace is for Ukraine to make a deal and give Putin what he wants. He now says he knows Putin very well and he is open to it. Then Putin can get back to the business of interfering in other countries for his own benefit.
