Despite the fact that Trump's peace plan for resolving the war in Ukraine has not yet been made public, experts doubt that he will simply "abandon" Ukraine and leave it unsupported.
This is reported by the British publication The Guardian, noting that Trump's position on this issue remains uncertain.
Currently, both Moscow and Kyiv are cautiously observing the situation, trying to predict how Trump will act once he takes office. Ukraine is eager to implement a resolution allowing the use of Western missiles to strike Russian territory, while Putin is actively employing nuclear threat tactics. However, analysts point out that an easy path to a peace agreement between the warring parties seems unlikely at this time.
"Finding an easy path to a peace agreement is challenging. The commonly held assumption in the West was that freezing the front line could be a prelude to negotiations, but neither side is interested: Russia, because it is making gains on the battlefield; Ukraine, because it fears that without real security guarantees from the West, freezing the lines would simply give Russia time to regroup before launching a new attack," the article in The Guardian states.
Former U.S. Special Representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker emphasizes that Trump is unlikely to pressure Ukraine into concessions to Russia. In his view, the former U.S. president is well aware of the disaster that Joe Biden's defeat in Afghanistan became and does not want Ukraine to become his "Afghanistan." Trump aims to present himself as a strong leader who does not yield to Putin, and if Russia refuses to negotiate, he is prepared to provide Ukraine with all necessary resources — weapons and funding.
