Trump's election prompts shifts in Ukraine aid and negotiations

Donald Trump's recent election victory is influencing the situation in Ukraine even before he takes office in January. Trump has criticized U.S. aid to Ukraine and suggested he might negotiate with Russia, prompting the Biden administration to expedite aid and discussions for a peace deal. President Biden is pushing to send over $6 billion in aid to Ukraine before Trump assumes office. Additionally, Biden has lifted restrictions on Ukraine using long-range missiles to strike targets inside Russia, which could enhance Ukraine's military effectiveness. World leaders are responding to Trump's election by renewing efforts to negotiate an end to the conflict. Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan plans to propose a war freeze at the G20 summit, while European officials acknowledge the need for Ukraine to compromise with Russia, despite Ukraine's rejection of territorial concessions.
