Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly rejected the idea of ordering a mission to capture Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In recent comments, Trump dismissed the concept as unviable. He also stated he is "disappointed" that the war between Russia and Ukraine continues without a peaceful resolution.
The remarks came in response to a direct question about whether he would attempt to detain the Russian leader if re-elected. Trump did not detail alternative strategies for ending the conflict.
The ongoing war, now in its third year, remains a major point of global tension and U.S. foreign policy debate.
