Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he could broker peace between Russia and Ukraine.
Trump offered ideas on what he could do to help the situation in several posts on TruthSocial.
In his first post, Trump claimed that the pipelines had been sabotaged.
U.S. is where I come from." Leadership should remain cool, calm, and dry. The former president wrote that this is a big event that shouldn't involve a big solution.
The Ukraine war would not have happened if Trump had been president, he said.
Do not make the situation worse. Get a negotiated deal done now. Both sides want the same thing. At stake is the whole world. I will lead the group.
The representative at the post-presidential press office did not reply immediately.
The suggestion that he head up a team to de-escalate tensions with Russia stands in stark contrast to statements he made in the early days of the war.
In March, Trump said he would send nukes to go up and down Russia's coast. Trump suggested that the US put Chinese flags on its fighter jets and use them to destroy Russia.
The saber-rattling came after Trump praised Putin for his actions.
Putin's justification for invading Ukraine was praised by Trump. Trump said that Putin was playing Biden like a drum.
In the past, Trump has called for Russia and Ukraine to come up with a solution. He said in April that the two countries needed to negotiate peace now.
In the same month, a clip surfaced of Trump suggesting to Zelenskyy that he get together with Putin to solve the problem.
It is not clear how effective Trump would be as a negotiator. The former president tried to establish his business in Moscow. In June of last year, Putin praised Trump for his talent.
The Russian government was accused of helping Trump win the presidency by orchestrating an influence campaign against Clinton. Trump called the probe a hoax.
