Donald Trump may call on European and British troops to enforce an 800-mile buffer zone between the Russian and Ukrainian armies as part of a plan to freeze the war between the two countries.

Details of the plan emerged as Volodymyr Zelensky warned that any attempt to make peace by appeasing Russia would mean “suicide” for Europe.

The plan is one of several being considered by Mr Trump, who said before being elected as US president that he would start peace talks before he enters office in January.

Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, on Thursday congratulated Mr Trump on his election victory and said Moscow was ready to talk to him over resolving the war in Ukraine.

Putin added that what Mr Trump had said “about the desire to restore relations with Russia, to help end the Ukrainian crisis, in my opinion, deserves attention at least.”https://youtu.be/oJLQ3EGJv...
