Quick resolution amid concerns for European security Trump’s vision for Ukraine

Former US President Donald Trump has expressed a desire to find a swift end to the Ukraine conflict, stating he could resolve it within twenty-four hours. However, there is skepticism surrounding his actual plans.

Analysts suggest he might leverage the threat of halting military aid to pressure Ukrainian President Zelenskyy into negotiations with Putin while also conditioning aid to Russia, Caliber.Az reports per foreign media.

Trump has criticized current US support for Ukraine, exaggerating the figures to criticize President Biden's approach and indicating he would prefer to negotiate with Putin independently, sidelining European allies.

The implications for Europe are significant, facing dual threats: the potential escalation of the war and the possibility of diminished American support if Trump returns to power. In the longer term, Europe may need to bolster its own defence capabilities to deter Russian aggression, requiring diplomatic skill to establish a lasting peace.

Any ceasefire agreement must be mutually agreeable to both Russia and Ukraine to ensure its durability, as neither side can claim outright victory.
