BlockBeats news, on November 26, the Financial Times article pointed out that for several months, 2025 has been seen as a window for the U.S. to push for some form of ceasefire in Ukraine. Given Russia's military advancements, it is by no means clear whether Putin wants to stop military operations.
Trump has multiple options to choose from; he may propose lifting sanctions on Russia in exchange for freezing the current military map. Alternatively, he could 'escalate before de-escalating', giving Putin a reason to make concessions.
Unlike Biden, Trump is unpredictable. This means things could go horribly wrong—such as the U.S. abandoning Ukraine and Zelensky being ousted. Or it could lead to unexpected outcomes: Putin might deepen his relationship with Trump by offering a better deal. (Jinshi)
