Washington: After the re-election of Donald Trump in America, the eyes of the whole world are on what turn the Russia-Ukraine war can take. However, immediately after the announcement of Trump's election as President, Zelensky congratulated Trump and expressed hope that peace will be established in the Russia-Ukraine war. At the same time, President Putin's Kremlin office has also said that if America wants, Moscow will keep the option of talks open. But Russia also said that when Trump takes office in January, it is keeping an eye on what America's new policy will be on the Russia-Ukraine war. Earlier the Kremlin refused to say anything more on this.
Let us tell you that President Trump's foreign policy during his first term was to reduce America's involvement in foreign conflicts and to give priority to American interests, which has shaped his stance on both the Middle East and Eastern Europe. His victory marks a significant change from his predecessor's approach, which has created uncertainty about America's role in these ongoing conflicts.
During the campaign, Trump kept talking about ending the Russia-Ukraine war.
During his entire election campaign before being elected President, Trump repeatedly announced that if he wins this time, he can end the Russia-Ukraine war within a day. He imagined himself as a negotiator who could broker a peace deal. Whereas Trump did not give any specific details about how he would end this war. His ally and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance had suggested that such a deal would involve creating a demilitarized zone along current lines, meaning Ukraine would lose control over key areas including Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhia. . Experts say the proposal contradicts Ukrainian resistance to any territorial concessions, indicating a potential conflict in priorities if Trump presses for such a proposal.
Will America still give weapons to Ukraine?
Under the current US President Joe Biden administration, Ukraine has received substantial military assistance in the war against Russia. This is the reason why relations between Russia and America are at the peak of tension. The United States provides military assistance to Ukraine, including advanced weapons systems critical to the country's defense. However, Trump has already expressed skepticism about US support for such an arms delivery to Ukraine. This has also raised questions about the logic behind the extensive American aid being provided to Ukraine. His skepticism is also reflected in his previous actions. During his first term, he temporarily halted aid to Ukraine, sparking political controversy. The above history suggests that Trump's pragmatic approach to foreign involvement could lead him to reduce or even halt US aid to Ukraine, potentially weakening Ukraine's defense against Russian attacks. Is.
As the world rages on, Trump's approach to foreign conflicts is characterized by a focus on deal-making and an 'America first' philosophy that prioritizes US interests above alliances or global intervention. . If this continues in his second term, America's role in international conflicts may become more restrained. Trump may advocate a negotiated solution to conflicts in the world, even if that requires concessions. However, for Ukraine this may involve concessions that could be strategically harmful. However, the full impact of this possible change in US foreign policy will be revealed when the Trump administration develops its strategies. Therefore, the whole world including Russia-Ukraine is in a wait and watch situation.
What is Putin and Zelensky's view on Trump?
Zelensky says he admires Donald Trump's vision of “peacemaking through force.” After Trump's victory, the Ukrainian President said in a post on The modalities for termination were discussed in detail.” Zelensky said Ukraine is “interested in developing mutually beneficial political and economic cooperation, which will benefit both our countries.” On the other hand, Russian President Putin has not yet congratulated Trump on his victory. However, the Kremlin has definitely said that it will keep the option of talks open. But Russia will take some decisions only after seeing what policies the Trump administration adopts on Ukraine in the future. But for now America will remain its enemy nation.
