Fact check: Trump said the ukraine invasion will end in 100 days

1. Summary of the results

The claim about a 100-day plan to end the Ukraine invasion appears to be unsubstantiated. While Trump has made statements about such a plan, it has been explicitly denied by Ukrainian officials, with Andriy Yermak from Zelensky's office stating that the plan does not "exist in reality" ^{[1] [2]}. Newsweek attempted to verify the details of this alleged plan but was unable to do so independently ^[1].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several important contextual elements are missing from the original statement:

• Trump has repeatedly changed his timeline for ending the war, initially claiming he could resolve it within 24 hours of taking office, later extending it to six months, and eventually admitting to being "a little bit sarcastic" about the 24-hour timeframe ^[3]
• There have been multiple attempted negotiations, including:
• Phone calls with Putin
• Meetings in Saudi Arabia
• Various diplomatic efforts

However, these attempts have not resulted in any concrete resolution ^[4]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The statement oversimplifies a complex situation and potentially serves multiple agendas:

• Political Messaging: Trump's varying timelines suggest these statements are more focused on political messaging than realistic diplomatic solutions ^[3]
• Russian Propaganda: According to Andriy Yermak, such reports often disguise Russian propaganda ^[1]
• Reality vs. Claims: While Trump claims progress, the situation remains far more complex, with Russia consistently presenting obstacles to any proposed agreement ^[4]

The reality of the situation shows that despite various diplomatic efforts and claims, no concrete resolution plan has been successfully implemented or verified by independent sources ^{[5] [6] [2]}.
