Donald Trump has postponed his campaign promise to end Russia's war against Ukraine " . According to them, during the negotiations it became clear that the associates of the elected US President had not yet decided how to resolve this conflict. “The whole Trump team is obsessed with power and looking strong, so they are reconsidering their approach to Ukraine,” one of the Financial Times’ interlocutors said. The future Trump administration fears that their decisions on Ukraine could be compared to the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan under Joe Biden, he added. Trump and his associates, notes the Financial Times, have said in recent days that the war between Russia and Ukraine can be ended within a few months after the inauguration of the elected US President. . In turn, Keith Kellogg, nominated by the president-elect for the post of special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, said that Trump would be able to offer an “acceptable solution” to ending the war in the near future. According to Kellogg, his personal goal is to stop the conflict in 100 days. European allies of Washington and Kyiv took the postponement of the end of the war as a sign that the Trump administration will not immediately abandon its support for Ukraine, writes the Financial Times. Peacekeepers in Ukraine President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky called the possible deployment of a foreign contingent in the country one of the best tools for forcing Russia to peace. Opening a meeting of the contact group on Ukraine at the American base Ramstein in Germany, he called on the allies to be more practical on this issue. “We all understand that today Putin’s goals remain unchanged. He wants to completely destroy Ukraine - and break us all, and you too. Therefore, our goal is to find as many tools as possible to force Russia to peace. I believe that this kind of deployment of partner contingents is one of the best tools. Let's be more practical in making this possible,” Zelensky said. . “We have to be bold and we have to offer really strong tools,” he emphasized. As an example of such a tool, the Ukrainian leader cited the operation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region, calling it one of the largest victories of Ukraine during the entire war.. The support won't stop? Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who met Trump at his Florida resort Mar-a-Lago last week, ruled out the possibility that the United States would withdraw its support for Ukraine after the inauguration of the 47th president.. “It is obvious that a new chapter begins for Europe and the whole world - in just 11 days, a time when we must cooperate more actively, rely more on each other and achieve even more significant results together,” Zelensky said at the Ramstein meeting about Trump’s inauguration.. During the meeting, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that if the United States decides to refuse to continue meetings in the Ramstein format, Ukraine’s European allies will have to take responsibility..
