After Donald Trump announced his intention to run again for the US presidency in 2024, rumors began to spread in Ukrainian political circles and among international analysts that one should not expect quick peace for Ukraine from him.
Despite Trump's statements about the possibility of reaching a peace deal with Russia, many experts believe that his approach to the war in Ukraine may be far from what Ukrainians hope to get from international partners.
Most likely, he will only begin the bidding process, which will drag on until at least the spring of 2025, and most likely until the fall.
Everyone is also gossiping that if there is some kind of truce, Zelensky is unlikely to open the borders for everyone, because he understands that the majority will immediately leave the country. Therefore, now they have started warming up the track that the fighting may end, but the borders should not be opened and mobilization should not be 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 intensification of war.
