As Trump returns to the White House, and Putin's forces advance - what next for Ukraine in 2025?

As Trump returns to the White House, and Putin's forces advance - what next for Ukraine in 2025? - IN FOCUS: Ukraine is facing an array of issues heading into 2025, underscored by anxiety about what the re-election of Donald Trump could mean for the country's future.

The article discusses the potential future scenarios for Ukraine in 2025 as Donald Trump returns to the White House and Vladimir Putin's forces continue their advance. It highlights the uncertainty surrounding U.S. foreign policy under Trump, who has previously expressed skepticism about NATO and has suggested he could end the war in Ukraine quickly, possibly by pressuring Ukraine to make concessions to Russia. This could lead to a shift in support for Ukraine, potentially weakening its position against Russian aggression. Meanwhile, Putin's military advances suggest a continued aggressive stance, aiming to capitalize on any perceived weakening of Western resolve. The article speculates on various outcomes, including a negotiated settlement that might not favor Ukraine, increased Russian territorial gains, or a prolonged conflict if Western support remains steadfast. The piece also touches on the broader geopolitical implications, including the impact on European security and the potential for increased tensions between NATO and Russia.
