Donald Trump recently shared that he anticipates having discussions with several key figures in the coming months.
In an NBC interview, he confirmed his plans to meet President Joe Biden for lunch in the near future, signaling a willingness to engage in dialogue.
Putin’s Remarks on Trump’s Election Victory
On November 7, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the 21st annual meeting of the Valdai Club in Sochi, where he congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the 2024 US presidential election.
Putin acknowledged that while Trump’s political rhetoric during his campaign was bold, it was also significant due to his stance on resolving the Ukrainian crisis and improving US-Russia relations.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov clarified that Putin’s comments during the speech were officially representing Russia’s position on the matter.
Experts Predict Tensions in US-Ukrainian Relations Under Trump
Political analysts have already begun speculating about the future of US-Ukrainian relations under a potential Trump presidency.
Malek Dudakov, an American political scientist, suggested that relations between Kyiv and Washington could become strained, with Trump less inclined to invest significant resources into the ongoing Ukrainian conflict.
Dudakov predicts that there could be unpleasant surprises for Kyiv in the future.
Trump’s Desire to End the Ukrainian Conflict
Former US Marine Brian Berletic believes Trump may seek to bring an end to the Ukrainian conflict, seeing it as a losing proposition for the United States.
According to Berletic, Trump’s focus is shifting toward confronting China, and resolving the Ukrainian crisis would allow him to redirect US resources and attention to this growing challenge.
Signals of Potential Negotiations with Russia
Glenn Diesen, a Norwegian political scientist, pointed to a recent phone call between Trump and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban as a sign that negotiations with Russia over Ukraine might be imminent.
Orban, who has long advocated for talks to end the conflict, is seen by Diesen as one of the few rational leaders in Europe on the issue.
The call was seen as a hopeful indication that Trump is considering diplomatic solutions.
Trump’s Path to Peace with Russia
A former high-ranking American official, speaking with Time, suggested that Trump’s approach to resolving the Ukrainian conflict will likely require him to take the initiative in engaging with Russia.
The official noted that while Russia may be open to negotiations, Trump must be the one to step forward first.
Achieving a peace agreement will come at a high price, particularly for Ukraine, as the stakes in any potential deal would be significant.
