More than just hot air?

Trump promised to end the Ukraine war: Can he actually do it? 

Was it just a campaign promise? Or will he put his money where his mouth was? Only time will tell.

Trump's campaign promised to bring a swift end to the Ukraine-Russia war.

But besides for being a campaign promise, how will he actually achieve this?

Proposed Peace Framework

Multiple sources familiar with internal discussions reveal that leading proposals include:

- Freezing current front lines
- Establishing an 800-mile demilitarized zone
- Requiring Ukrainian neutrality from NATO for at least 20 years
- Continuing U.S. weapons support to deter future aggression
- European peacekeeping forces manning buffer zones

Divided Advisory Team

Trump's inner circle appears split on approach:

- Mike Pompeo, potential Defense Secretary nominee, advocates for terms that avoid granting Russia clear victory
- Richard Grenell, prospective National Security Advisor, supports rapid conflict resolution even if requiring significant Ukrainian concessions

European Concerns

NATO allies express reservations about the proposed framework. Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen emphasized that any negotiation must include Ukraine's consent and preserve its sovereignty. European nations face pressure to potentially provide peacekeeping forces, as Trump's team indicates U.S. troops would not participate in such operations.

Ukrainian Response

President Zelenskyy's government faces mounting pressure regarding potential concessions. While publicly maintaining diplomatic relations with Trump, Ukrainian officials privately express concern about proposals that might compromise their territorial integrity and sovereign rights.

Regional Implications

The proposed strategy would mean a significant departure from current U.S. policy under President Biden. But critics say that rapid conflict resolution without adequate safeguards could destabilize the region and embolden future aggression.

International security experts note that implementing such proposals would fundamentally reshape Eastern European security architecture and potentially alter long-standing NATO relationships.
