Trump adviser says Ukraine focus must be peace, not territory

A senior adviser to President-elect Donald Trump says the incoming administration will focus on achieving peace in Ukraine rather than enabling the country to gain back territory occupied by Russia.

Bryan Lanza, a Republican party strategist, told the BBC the Trump administration would ask Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his version of a "realistic vision for peace".

"And if President Zelensky comes to the table and says, well we can only have peace if we have Crimea, he shows to us that he's not serious," he said.

Minskavtalet är två avtal för att skapa förutsättningar för en fredlig lösning av kriget i Donbass.

Russian forces suffered an average of around 1,500 dead and injured per day in Ukraine during October, according to the UK's chief of defence staff, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin 

The Russian people were paying an "extraordinary price" for Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion, saying that October was the worst month for losses since the conflict began in February 2022.

With the election of US president-elect Donald Trump casting doubt on US support for Ukraine, Sir Tony said Western allies would stand with them for "as long as it takes".
