See Daniel Negreanu’s take on the Russia-Ukraine War

Celebrated poker player Daniel Negreanu has waded into the Russia—Ukraine war controversy and posted his opinion about it on his X (formerly Twitter account). The longish post has a detailed take on the ongoing controversy, which blew up further when the talks between the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and US President Donald Trump broke down in a very public manner. Negreanu has pointed out his thoughts about the current war and war in general. 

The war has been an ongoing dispute between Russia and Ukraine since 2014, when Russia occupied and annexed Crimea, and escalated in 2022, when Russia started a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The incident has resulted in widespread and global condemnation, and several celebrities have voiced their opinions throughout the years. While it remains to be seen how the war ends, it has become a point of conversation in every circle.

In the post, he discussed what he thought were the options for ending the war and offered some diplomatic options for a peaceful solution. Negreanu has now added his voice to a global discussion that is taking center stage in political and international circles.

The Canadian poker player is also known as ‘Kid Poker’ because he was the youngest player at the time, at 23 years old, to win a WSOP bracelet in 1993. He has displayed an aggressive play style, which has endeared him to the audience over the years. This is one of the few times that Negranu has been featured in a news piece that is not in the entertainment and media sphere and isn’t directly related to poker.

Negranu has been in the headlines several times in his career, primarily because of his exploits at the poker table. He is 1st on the Canadian All-Time Money List and 7th on the Global All-Time Money List. He has a whopping seven WSOP bracelets, and fans consider him to be one of the best poker players globally. He is also one of the most active poker players and was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2014.
