The victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential elections increases the likelihood of negotiations between the aggressor state Russia and Ukraine, the coming months may become crucial.
This was reported by Reuters on Monday, November 11, with reference to a high-ranking Ukrainian official.
According to him, the next 4-5 months will be decisive and this winter is a critical moment. He also expressed hope that the war is coming to an end.
“Now we will determine the positions of both sides in the negotiations, the starting positions,” Reuters quoted the official as saying on condition of anonymity.
It is noted that Kyiv is trying to take the most advantageous position for any negotiations, in particular by obtaining more weapons and maintaining positions at the front.
Officials are waiting to see who Trump chooses for top security and defense posts for clues about how he will shape policy toward Ukraine.
Journalists emphasize that Russia continues its offensive at the front, despite heavy losses, the threat of a new large-scale attack on Ukraine’s energy system persists, and enemy drones attack Kyiv almost every night.
One of the Kyiv officials indicated that after the victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential elections, the invitation of Ukraine to NATO became “less likely’ and that there is a risk of aid cuts.
Trump’s “peace plan” for Ukraine – what is known
On November 6, The Wall Street Journal reported that Donald Trump’s advisers put forward different versions of the plan to actually freeze the front line in Ukraine. One of them provides for Ukraine’s refusal to join NATO for 20 years.
According to the publication, this plan includes freezing the front line and creating an 800-mile demilitarized zone (almost 1300 km). In addition, it provides for Russia to leave approximately 20% of the territory of Ukraine, which the aggressor country seized.
On November 7, it was reported that the Office of the President of Ukraine doubted the authenticity of this plan.
“In general, we can say that the real plans of presidents are hardly announced in newspapers. And there are always a lot of Russian interjections in the newspapers,” Dmytro Lytvyn, adviser to the president of Ukraine on communication, commented on the publication.
The Economist reported that officials in Ukraine rely on two public formulations of Donald Trump’s “peace plan”.
For its part, The Telegraph reported that Trump’s plan may involve placing European and British troops in a 1,200-kilometer buffer zone between the Russian and Ukrainian armies.
