The administration of US President-elect Donald Trump can help the Ukrainians reach a good agreement to end the war. This statement was made by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Ukrinform reports..

“We see the impact on it (Russian – ed.. ) economy. We see the impact on its future, its failure to invest in critical areas of the future that could be a source of strength for Russia,” Blinken said.

According to the head of the State Department, the burden imposed on Russia by the administration of current President Joe Biden is becoming heavier..

“I believe that the new administration is in such a position that when and if the Ukrainians want and decide (to negotiate - ed.. ), it can help achieve a good agreement,” Blinken emphasized.

He recalled that Trump constantly talks about so-called good deals. Therefore, the Secretary of State noted, the opportunity opens up for him to do what he is talking about.

Blinken stressed that the deal was indeed a good one, first of all we need to achieve a ceasefire. Moreover, it must be persistent and long-lasting. Blinken explained that Vladimir Putin cannot be allowed to rest, rearm, and begin new aggression during the ceasefire..

The head of the State Department noted that there are many ways to achieve this. The current US presidential administration discussed them with European partners. In these ways the current administration shared with its successors. In this regard, Blinken suggested that the next leadership of the United States will be able to build on all previous achievements in this direction and ensure that Ukraine not only survives, but actually thrives.
