Ukrainians weigh hope and concern over Trump's election as U.S. president
Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines are cautiously optimistic about Donald Trump's election as U.S. president. They hope for continued military support, regardless of who leads the U.S. They recall that Trump previously authorized weapons for Ukraine in 2017.
In Kyiv, some citizens express concern that Trump may push for territorial concessions in exchange for peace. They prefer a clear understanding of the situation over what they see as false hope from the current administration.
European leaders are closely monitoring the election results, with France and Germany holding a defense meeting to discuss the implications for Ukraine. The Kremlin views U.S. support for Ukraine as hostile but acknowledges Trump's promise to seek a swift resolution to the conflict.
