Ukrainians await Trump's next steps after election victory and hope for stronger European action against Russia
Ukrainians are anxiously awaiting Donald Trump's next steps after his election victory. Many express concern about their reliance on U.S. support in the ongoing conflict with Russia, hoping Trump will prompt Europe to take stronger action against Putin. Some Ukrainians believe Trump's presidency could positively impact their situation. They are particularly interested in his plans to freeze the conflict and establish a demilitarized zone, although details remain unclear. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated Trump and emphasized the importance of U.S. leadership for global peace. Trump's former representative for Ukraine stated that he will quickly reach out to Putin to advocate for an end to the war.
