Will Trump’s promises on Ukraine hold up in office?
Volodymyr Petraniuk, the director of a theater in Kyiv, believes that Donald Trump will not end the war between Russia and Ukraine. He emphasizes that the American president should supply more weapons to the Ukrainian armed forces. Only this way can he effectively influence the end of the conflict.
Donald Trump will become the President of the United States on Monday, January 20th. The Republican politician has promised to end the war between Ukraine and Russia swiftly.
Ukrainians are skeptical of Trump's promise and believe a quick resolution of the conflict is impossible. Even those who were hopeful about the new U.S. president claim that the only chance for a rapid end to the war is to provide Ukraine with a substantial amount of weapons.
Volodymyr Petraniuk, director of the Mirror Theater in Kyiv, expressed hope for Donald Trump to bring an end to the war, though he acknowledged that this is unlikely. He emphasized the importance of receiving more weapons and heavy equipment from the United States, suggesting that with sufficient support, defeating Putin's army could become possible. He concluded with a heartfelt plea for divine assistance.
The war between Russia and Ukraine will be one of Donald Trump's most significant challenges as his term begins today. He will undoubtedly be held accountable for public declarations during the election campaign.
I want everybody to stop dying. They’re dying. Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. And I’ll have that done in 24 hours - said Donald Trump in May 2023.
The Kremlin has already responded to these announcements, stating that there is no possibility of a quick end to the war unless Russian conditions (including the handover of eastern territories of Ukraine to Russia) are met. These terms are unacceptable to Ukraine and the coalition of Western countries.
