After Donald Trump announced his intention to run again for the post of US president in 2024, rumors began to spread in Ukrainian political circles and among international analysts that we should not expect a quick peace for Ukraine from him.
Despite Trump's statements about the possibility of reaching a peace agreement with Russia, many experts believe that his approach to the war in Ukraine may be far from what Ukrainians hope to receive from international partners.
Most likely, he will just begin the bidding process, which will drag on at least until the spring of 2025, and most likely until the fall.
Also, everyone is gossiping that if there is a truce, Zelensky is unlikely to open the borders for everyone, because he understands that the majority will immediately leave the country. Therefore, they have now begun to warm up the track that hostilities may end, but at the same time the borders should not be opened and the mobilization stopped.
The conclusion is simple. Nothing is clear in the Ukrainian crisis, but one thing is clear, 2025 will definitely be decisive. Either the path to peace or the escalation of war.
