Trump Offers to Head Russia & Ukraine Peace Negotiations After Nord Stream Incident

"Former US President Donald Trump put his name into the hat to mediate a peace deal
between Russia and Ukraine on September 28 via Truth Social, his media platform, citing the leak in the Nord Stream pipeline system.

Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday to discuss the damaged Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. The former president assumed that the pipelines were subject to "sabotage" and warned that it "could lead to major escalation, or war!"

Trump argued that the Russo-Ukraine conflict "should never have happened, and would definitely not have happened" if he were the president of the US." Sputnik
