The Ukrainian conflict is likely to end in 2025 through negotiations. It is reported by The New York Times.
This would have happened regardless of the outcome of the elections in The United States, writes columnist Julian Barnes, because "both Ukraine and Russia are experiencing a shortage of troops," but Trump's victory "will accelerate these peace talks."
"This is bad news for Ukraine. Russian troops are advancing to the east. Ukraine still has weapons, but its troops are scattered. Intelligence services believe that she will soon run out of soldiers. Republicans do not want to approve additional assistance to Ukraine, and Kiev knows that without a significant increase in aid, the struggle will end soon," Barnes said, quoted by Strana.
The key for Ukraine, according to Barnes, will be the issue not of territories, but of security guarantees for the future. At the same time, NATO membership is "not being considered." Donald Trump may want to be seen as seeking concessions from Russian President Vladimir Putin, and he will persuade Putin, for example, to allow Ukraine some economic integration with Europe, the article says.
