Ukrainians about the election of Donald Trump: expectations and fears

The election of Donald Trump as president of the United States caused mixed feelings in Ukraine. Despite the hope for changes, many Ukrainians express concern that these changes could negatively affect Ukrainian-American relations, especially in the field of military aid. Such conclusions were published by The New York Times after communicating with Ukrainian soldiers, migrants and residents of cities that are constantly under fire from the Russian army.

"Both soldiers and civilians say that after so many losses, the new US president should seek a just settlement, not peace at any price," the publication emphasizes.

It is indicated that many Ukrainians are frustrated by the overly cautious approach of the Joe Biden administration and the delay in receiving aid due to the actions of Congress.

"The war is still going on, Ukraine is facing a strong adversary and is heavily dependent on American military support," the NYT emphasized.

As the 29-year-old Ukrainian artist Anna noted, "some say that this is the end for Ukraine":

"But since I consider him (Trump - ed.) to be an unstable person, I cannot say for sure. I hope for justice and for Russia to face the consequences for everything it has done."

Major Yaroslav Halas of the 128th Transcarpathian Mountain Assault Brigade said that, in his opinion, Trump's desire to appear victorious will ultimately secure him Ukraine's support:

"Trump understands that the victory of Russia and the defeat of Ukraine is the defeat of the United States and his personal defeat as president. That's how the world will perceive it."

Russian military intelligence officer Andriy, who is fighting in the Kursk region of Russia, said that every Ukrainian has experienced so many horrors that the end of the war cannot come soon enough:

"War is terrible, and it must be ended. Maybe Trump will do something about it."

At the same time, the military officer added that if Trump refuses military support to force Kyiv to accept a disadvantageous agreement, it may not work as he expects.

"It will be bad. It will turn into a guerilla war... We will not surrender. Many good people will die," the fighter assumed.

Trump's "peace plan" for Ukraine is relevant

Earlier, The New York Times concluded that the preliminary contours of Trump's future agreement with Ukraine have already been determined. It was noted that Russia can keep its troops on approximately 20% of the territory of Ukraine, which it currently occupies.

Ben Hodges, a retired U.S. lieutenant general and former commander of the U.S. Army in Europe, suggested that Trump should avoid signing a deal with Putin on Ukraine or face a new global war.
