Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced that she would nominate President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he successfully brings an end to the war in Ukraine without requiring the country to concede any territory to Russia.

Getting into it: During an appearance on the Raging Moderates podcast, Clinton said, “If he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, had to, in a way, validate Putin’s vision of greater Russia, but instead could really stand up to Putin, to make it clear there must be a ceasefire. If President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize.”

Clinton outlined her conditions for what she believes would constitute a just and credible end to the war. She said, “There will be no exchange of territory. Putin should be actually withdrawing from the territory he’s seized in order to demonstrate his good-faith efforts, let us say, not to threaten European security.” Clinton added, “My goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin, aided and abetted by the United States. I think that’s a terrible, terrible precedent.”

This all comes as both Ukraine and Russia maintain opposing stances on the terms of any ceasefire. Ukraine is demanding a full withdrawal of Russian troops, the return of all Ukrainian children forcibly taken to Russia, the restoration of all territories occupied by Russia, including Crimea, and financial reparations for the destruction caused during the war.

In contrast, Russia has indicated it’s willing to negotiate a ceasefire only if Ukraine scales back its military size, abandons efforts to join NATO and the European Union, and recognizes Russian control over territories it has annexed. These stark differences in preconditions continue to block any meaningful progress toward a peace agreement.
