Ukraine Faces Uncertainty as Trump Administration Signals Shift in War Strategy
Donald Trump’s presidency raises questions about U.S. support for Ukraine while Kyiv contemplates potential compromises in ongoing conflict with Russia.
- Donald Trump has appointed retired U.S. General Keith Kellogg as special envoy to Ukraine, signaling a potential shift in U.S. policy toward brokering a settlement in the war with Russia.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed cautious optimism about Trump’s ability to help end the conflict, while also emphasizing the need for security guarantees such as NATO membership.
- Russia has escalated its attacks on Ukraine, launching 300 drones and 20 missiles in the first three days of 2025, as the war grinds into its third year with no clear resolution in sight.
- Ukraine has ceased the transit of Russian gas through its territory, marking a blow to Moscow’s energy revenues but raising tensions with European nations like Slovakia over economic repercussions.
- European leaders and analysts remain skeptical of a quick resolution, warning that any ceasefire without robust guarantees could allow Russia to regroup and reignite the conflict.
