Peace or nothing? What Trump's preparing for Ukraine and what's the chance of ending war in 2025

What are the options for a peaceful settlement in 2025, what are the plans of Donald Trump, Europe, and Ukraine, what tasks is the Kremlin setting, and is a ceasefire possible soon - read in RBC-Ukraine's article.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's potential approach to the ongoing war in Ukraine if he were to win the 2024 presidential election. Trump has suggested that he could end the conflict in 24 hours, a claim met with skepticism by some due to the complexity of the situation. His strategy reportedly involves leveraging his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he has described as "very smart" and with whom he believes he has a good rapport. Critics argue that Trump's approach might involve pressuring Ukraine into concessions, potentially rewarding Russia's aggression. The article also touches on the broader implications of Trump's foreign policy, which could shift U.S. support away from Ukraine, possibly leading to a peace deal that might not favor Ukraine's interests. However, the feasibility of Trump's quick resolution remains uncertain, given the entrenched positions of both Ukraine and Russia, and the international community's stance on the conflict.
