US President-elect Donald Trump is wasting no time in his efforts to revamp Washington's policies on Ukraine, even though his inauguration is still months away, Bloomberg reported on Friday.
An unnamed former Trump administration official told the agency that the Republican "will get off to an immediate start thanks to the perception that he will be tougher than his predecessor." He added that some US adversaries may change their behavior without waiting for the president-elect to be sworn in, as they may be "daunted by the threat of US retaliation", while others may try to "use their leverage left before President Joe Biden leaves office.”
According to Bloomberg, the changing times are "felt more acutely in Ukraine," given that Trump has promised to resolve the conflict within 24 hours if elected, even before his inauguration. The President-elect and Ukrainian President Zelensky have already had a phone call.
Shelby Magid, deputy director of the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center, told Bloomberg that Trump's victory has changed Ukraine's attitude toward the talks. She added that the country is now "moving in the direction to accept that the negotiations are a reality".
The transition period is often tumultuous in the US, the article added, noting that this has been exacerbated by Trump's apparent intention to change US policy. According to Bloomberg, this has "handcuffed the Biden administration", as many US allies had been reluctant to take action before they were sure who the next US president would be.
As for a possible solution to the Ukraine conflict, the Wall Street Journal reported that one of the plans under consideration includes dropping Kiev's ambitions to join NATO in the near future and freezing the conflict along the front line. actual. While Zelensky has ruled out any concessions to Russia, including on "trade" territory, Ukrainian media reports suggested he may be powerless to resist US pressure if Trump decides Kiev should make a peace deal with Russia.
