The chance of Donald Trump returning to White-house makes Ukraineʼs allies think about new ways to handle the conflict. While Trump shows friendly attitude to Putin and cold feelings toward Zelensky‚ he might still want a real peace deal - not another quick loss like Afghanistan
The war situation looks tough: Russia keeps pushing with help from its new friends (North-Korea and China) while Ukraine faces resource problems. Still Ukraine shows great strength - its recent cross-border actions proved that Russian so-called red-lines arent as strict as many thought
Bidenʼs three main goals from Feb-22 are still working but need fresh look: Ukraine stays free; NATO isnt directly involved; Russiaʼs army shows poor results. The situation needs new ideas though - Ukraineʼs counter-attack didnt bring big wins‚ and Russian drones keep hitting civil targets
- France stays firm with Ukraine
- Poland keeps strong support
- UK promises long-term help
- US public still backs both support and peace talks
Ukraineʼs path since 2014 shows big changes in culture art and business - getting away from Moscowʼs control. Any peace deal must keep these wins: Ukraine needs freedom to protect itself build its army and make friends with other countries
The hard truth is that some land might need to be traded for peace but Ukraineʼs right to stay independent matters more. A free Ukraine could grow like Poland while Russian-controlled one risks becoming next Belarus. The talks should focus on keeping Ukraineʼs core freedom - not on making Russia admit its failures
