Ukraine braces for uncertainty as Trump returns to the White House

edition.cnn.com

Ukraine faces a challenging new reality with Donald Trump’s election as U.S. president. Trump has expressed intentions to end the war quickly but has not provided clear strategies. His past comments suggest a potential shift in U.S. support for Ukraine. As Trump takes office, Ukraine's military situation is precarious. Recent losses in the Donetsk region have left Ukraine vulnerable, and Western officials warn of Russia's unsustainable casualty rates. The Kremlin may see Trump's presidency as an opportunity to strengthen its position. Zelensky's ability to secure military aid may be complicated by Trump's previous controversies. The potential for a Trump-backed peace deal raises concerns, as past negotiations with Russia have often favored military objectives over genuine resolution.
