Decisive months: Ukraine prepares for Trump's return and possible end of the war, - Reuters.

Prospects for peace in Ukraine after Trump's victory in the US elections

Donald Trump won the presidential elections in the United States, opening up the possibility of negotiations and ending the war in Ukraine. Ukraine is doing everything to strengthen its position before future negotiations, including by obtaining a larger volume of weapons and support on the front.

A Ukrainian official expressed the view that the next few months will be crucial. With Trump's return to the White House, Kyiv is focused on the opportunity to end the war. It should be noted that Trump has stated about a rapid end to the war, but did not specify details.

Ukraine expects Trump to appoint key positions in the security and defense sector to clarify his approach to Ukraine. Mike Pompeo was excluded from the list of candidates, who was considered a supporter of Ukraine in Kyiv.

Despite heavy losses, Russia continues to advance rapidly from 2022 onwards. Ukraine has also reported a conflict with 11,000 North Korean forces deployed in the Kursk region of Russia.

President Volodymyr Zelensky is convinced that a rapid end to the war will require significant concessions from Ukraine. He also criticizes the idea of a ceasefire without reliable security guarantees that could prevent Russia's advance.
