Trump's Ukraine Peace Strategy Faces Skepticism Amid Aid Concerns

As President-elect Trump prepares to take office, Ukraine and its allies worry about potential shifts in U.S. military support and Trump's proposed peace plan.

  • Ukraine fears a reduction in U.S. military aid under President-elect Trump, who has expressed a desire to end the conflict quickly.
  • Trump's proposed peace plan includes an 800-mile buffer zone and a 20-year pause on Ukraine's NATO ambitions, relying on European troops to enforce peace.
  • Trump's team distanced itself from a former adviser's comments suggesting Crimea is permanently lost, emphasizing that such views do not represent Trump's stance.
  • Ukrainian President Zelenskyy insists that peace requires the return of all territories occupied by Russia, including Crimea, and remains skeptical of any quick settlement.
  • The Biden administration faces pressure to pass a new aid package for Ukraine before Trump assumes office, amid concerns about maintaining leverage over Russia.
