- How will Trump's presidency impact peace negotiations in Ukraine?
- Trump's election victory is expected to accelerate peace negotiations in Ukraine, but experts doubt their success due to complexities and potential compromises.
- How might the US's military and financial aid to Ukraine change under Trump?
- While Trump's administration might shift to a lend-lease model of military aid rather than outright grants, ceasing military and financial support is unlikely due to potential domestic backlash.
- What are the potential key elements of a peace deal under Trump's administration?
- A potential peace deal might involve a demilitarized zone along the frontline and Ukrainian neutrality, leaving Russia in occupied territories and Ukraine foregoing NATO membership, which Ukraine views as capitulation.
- What are the concerns within Ukraine regarding Trump's potential approach to peace?
- Concerns exist in Ukraine that the US, under Trump, might pressure Kyiv into an unfavorable agreement, fueled by past Republican blocks on aid and rhetoric from Vice President Pence.
- What are the challenges and potential consequences of peace negotiations, considering the current situation?
- Despite some Ukrainians favoring peace talks due to the challenging situation on the ground, a compromise on occupied territories is deemed politically impossible in Ukraine, potentially leading to further conflict.
