Donald Trump “will hurt America” if he allows Putin to win in Ukraine, Nato’s top military official has said. In the strongest criticism of Mr Trump’s so-called peace plans since he won last week’s election, Adml Rob Bauer said Ukraine is of “strategic importance” to the US.

Adm. Rob Bauer warned against any peace deal that was too favorable to Russia, arguing that it could undermine American interests.

America’s election outcome is jeopardizing the arms pipeline that has made it possible for Ukraine to keep fighting.

The Joe Biden administration is working to secure as many aid packages for Ukraine as possible before Donald Trump takes office, as Trump's policy toward Ukraine remains unknown. The latest package includes ammunition for systems crucial for Kyiv's survival.

Donald Trump's reported peace plan for Ukraine and Russia would lead to a demilitarised zone similar to the one that separates North Korea and South Korea, an expert tells the Daily Express. The Wall Street Journal reported that Mr Trump plans on freezing the conflict to set up a demilitarised zone following his victory in the US election this week.
