The U.S. predicted the end of the conflict in Ukraine in the first half of 2025

The head of the US Senate Commerce Committee Ted Cruz said his own hope that US President Donald Trump will be able to resolve the conflict in Ukraine in the first half of 2025. He stated this on the air of the TV channel Fox News.

"We will see this war end. I think it will end in the first half of this year. The president is trying to negotiate that solution," the senator said.

At the same time, Cruz emphasized that he considers the previous leader of the country, Joe Biden, to be responsible for the beginning of the conflict. According to him, Biden showed himself as a weak president and commander-in-chief.
