Trump Faces Pressure Over Ukraine Peace Plan as Former General Expresses Optimism

Ex-General Ben Hodges suggests Trump will avoid being seen as the leader who lost Ukraine, despite concerns over his campaign promises.

Donald Trump, now President-elect, previously claimed he could end the Ukraine war in 24 hours, raising fears of reduced support for Kyiv.
Trump has since moderated his stance, suggesting a six-month timeline for achieving peace in the conflict.
Former US General Ben Hodges believes Trump will show strength against Russia to avoid being perceived as a failure in Ukraine.
Hodges highlighted the role of Trump's designated Ukraine envoy, Keith Kellogg, who aims to end the war in 100 days but cautions against trusting Russia.
The Ukrainian military's recent offensive in Kursk is seen as a strategic success, challenging perceptions of Russian invincibility.
