In a move quite different from other US leaders, Indian-American lawmaker Vivek Ramaswamy has advocated for ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict with Moscow keeping parts of Donbas region and Kyiv not joining NATO. He further argued that Russian President Vladimir Putin must exit his military alliance with China to end the conflict.

Notably, Vivek Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur, is set to contest against Donald Trump in Republican primaries for US presidential polls. 'I will end the Ukraine War on terms that require Putin to exit his military alliance with China. The goal shouldn't be for Russia to 'lose.' It should be for the U.S. to *win.*', Ramaswamy said on X (formerly Twitter).
