Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — once Donald Trump’s most bitter political adversary — said she would support awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize if he can secure a lasting end to the war in Ukraine without yielding to Moscow’s demands.
Speaking on Fox News co-host Jessica Tarlov’s Raging Moderates podcast, Clinton laid out a clear condition for her unlikely endorsement: “If he could bring about the end to this terrible war… without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor… could really stand up to Putin — something we haven’t seen — but maybe this is the opportunity… If President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. Because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin.”
The statement comes as Trump advances a push for a negotiated settlement that could involve land swaps and security guarantees. He is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday and has floated the idea of a second high-level summit involving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
While Trump has long branded himself the “president of peace” and sought the recognition of a Nobel — a prize awarded to past U.S. presidents, including Barack Obama — the road to any Ukraine agreement remains steep. According to Politico, Moscow and Kyiv are still “nowhere close” to a breakthrough.

Well, I too am unsure as to what Trump‘s plan is here, I can envision a number of scenarios where he may be able to force an end to the war.
I do question whether Hillary will be mature enough to stick to her promise here.
There is no scenario for peace that doesn’t include some concessions to the Russians. Is she banking on using those concessions as an offramp?
Lock her up
That’s her plea for help. They are closing in on Russiagate.
DSBN at its best
That’s right Deep State Brown Nosing, to avoid the slammer. Clinton the two timing snake pretending to be fair to avoid being behind bars with Letita James.
What goes around comes around and now it’s your turn Deep State
Of course if Trump actually does do it, he will NOT get the nomination from her. She is only saying that now because she does not believe he will do it
Your blanching 33,000 bleached emails cost you any possibility of ever winning Noble Peace Prize.
never mind ukraine, there are very few people who can say that they produced peace treaties in the middle east. not that they can be equated, but if the nobel committee could award the peace prize to jimmy carter, al gore, barack hussein obama, and yasser arafat, why not donald trump?
If he can end world hunger she would even worship him
People are so stupid
