U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala, said President Donald Trump is a “peacemaker” after Russia’s President Vladimir Putin signaled support for a U.S. ceasefire plan in the Ukraine-Russia war.

Tuberville’s remarks came during an interview on Newsmax Thursday, after news broke that Putin stated a ceasefire was a good idea but further discussions were needed for clarity and to ensure a long-lasting peace.

Ukraine agreed to the 30-day temporary ceasefire agreement earlier this week, according to NBC News.

“President Trump’s not just a dealmaker, he’s a peacemaker,” Tuberville told Newsmax host Bianca de la Garza. “Steve Witkoff’s in Moscow as we speak. Marco Rubio, our Secretary of State, has done a great job. They’re communicating. What a new idea, the Biden administration wanted no talks.”

On Feb. 24, 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine kickstarting a war that has lasted over three years. Those either wound or killed on both sides, including civilians and soldiers, is in the hundreds of thousands though reporting varies due to lack of transparent information.

Former President Joe Biden’s Administration and Congress began offering support to Ukraine after the war started. However, as the war continued conservatives continued to sour on America financially supporting Ukraine.

According to the Council on Foreign Relations, the U.S. has committed about $128 billion in aid to Ukraine since the war started.

Prior to Ukraine agreeing to the ceasefire agreement, Trump’s administration paused military aid to Ukraine after the president publicly reprimanded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a few weeks ago.

Tuberville said the goal is to get the war over with and get Ukraine “building again.”

“We’ve got to get this over with, and get Ukraine building again and get Russia as far back off their borders as we possibly can,” Tuberville said.
