The Russia-Ukraine war has lasted nearly three years, but with Trump's victory in the U.S. elections and his official inauguration set for the 20th of this month, Ukrainian President Zelensky and his wife recently stated in a television interview that, under Trump's influence, the war may end this year.

(Additional context: Biden and Trump had a friendly discussion: Don't give up on Ukraine, expedite military aid to Ukraine as much as possible before leaving office) As the largest war in Europe since World War II, the Russia-Ukraine war has continued for nearly three years since it fully erupted in February 2022. However, with Trump winning the U.S. elections last November and set to officially announce his inauguration on the 20th of this month, the potential changes in international political and economic situations brought by the new government have intensified discussions about whether the Russia-Ukraine war can end this year. Zelensky: Trump is the key to the Russia-Ukraine ceasefire. We know that before Trump won the election, he promised the public a series of new government initiatives, including that he would stop the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours of officially taking office. Although this promise seems somewhat exaggerated, according to a report from the Kyiv Independent yesterday (3rd), Ukrainian President Zelensky and his wife recently stated in a television interview that Trump will indeed be the key to whether this war can end. Zelensky explained that Trump had vowed to change Ukraine after taking office and negotiate a way to end the war. Under the strong security guarantees from the U.S., Ukraine can end this war more quickly: Trump can play a decisive role in ending the war, or rather, he can help us stop Putin. I also believe he genuinely wants to end this war. The lack of any security guarantees from the U.S. is weak for Ukraine, and Europeans are also watching the U.S. attitude. If Trump behaves very toughly, the hot phase of the war may end quickly. (Financial Times) predicts: Russia-Ukraine will ceasefire this year. Regarding the prospect of a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire, the UK (Financial Times) recently published a prediction at the end of the year, believing that there is a high probability that both sides will ceasefire this year: The U.S. must implement harsher sanctions and increase support for Kyiv to persuade Moscow to seriously engage in peace negotiations. In exchange for a safe environment supported by the U.S., Zelensky will agree to Russia controlling the territories it currently occupies in fact, not legally, and attempt to carry out some territorial exchanges. However, Ukraine's attempts to join NATO may ultimately be shelved. Related reports: The dollar rises to a nearly two-year high!
