As soon as he won the presidential election, Donald Trump took an oath to stop the war, will the Ukraine war stop…
Washington:- There is an atmosphere of concern in Ukraine after Donald Trump was re-elected as US President, as he vowed to 'stop wars' in a victory speech on Wednesday morning. After nearly three years of war, officials in Kiev acknowledged Ukraine now needs to look to its allies in the West for support as it seeks to fend off a new Russian invasion backed by thousands of North Korean troops.
It is noteworthy that Trump has repeatedly claimed that he will end the ongoing war in Ukraine in one day. He has also vowed to stop aid to Kiev. Let us tell you that when it comes to funding, America has been the top supporter of Ukraine.
Zelensky recalls his meeting with Trump
Meanwhile, in a statement on social media on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recalled his meeting with Trump in September and praised the Republican's commitment to a 'peace through strength' approach to global affairs. However, he also said that he is confident in continued strong bipartisan support for Ukraine in the United States.
Despite the Ukrainian government repeatedly insisting during the US election campaign that it enjoyed bipartisan support in Washington, it was clear that Trump's chances of victory were weighing heavily on Kiev.
We have to live in Trump's world now
“We now have to live in Trump’s world,” Timofey Mylovanov, president of the Kyiv School of Economics, said in a Facebook post. “I doubt that the war will end in 24 hours, as they promised.” Trump's unexpected victory has left Ukrainians unsure of what to expect from his second presidency.
The Republican has repeatedly claimed to have a good relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and described Zelensky as the greatest salesman in history. He has also claimed that Trump had told Putin that if he tried to attack Ukraine then America would bomb Moscow.
'Kiev needs to change its approach'
On Trump's victory, Oleksandr Merezhko, head of the Foreign Relations Committee in the Ukrainian Parliament, took a relatively optimistic view and said that Kiev would need to change its approach if Trump becomes president.
Merezzo told the American digital newspaper Politico, “I don't think his becoming president will be bad for Ukraine. “However, it may be difficult, challenging, but not necessarily bad.” “Trump is a pragmatic businessman who thinks in terms of costs and benefits, which means Ukraine will have to work hard to convince him to continue supporting Kiev,” he said.
