Instead of making peace quickly, after the inauguration of Trump, we see the other — after massive Russian attacks Ukraine sent drones to the aircraft mill in Smolensk.

Sharp tones against the Kremlin

Donald Trump went very, very far. In July 2024, he announced that he would end the invasion of Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office. This time has passed and there are no signs of instant peace in Ukraine.

Trump changed his friendly approach to Russian president Vladimir Putin.

— We can do it in an easy or hard way — we read in Communication U.S. president addressed Putin published on fact Social platform. Is Trump putting the carrot distant and reaching for the stick?

Of course, the promise of peace within 24 hours had to be considered a paraphrase of Trump's desire to find a peaceful solution as shortly as possible and end the invasion of Ukraine.

"A small exaggeration will never hurt," wrote Trump in his 1987 book The Art of the Deal. Already during the election campaign, he relaxed his speech and announced that the agreement between Moscow and Kiev would be reached within the first fewer weeks or months of swearing in.

However, these plans have now become questionable. In his beginning speech on Monday 20 January Trump did not mention a word about Ukraine. He only spoke of her later in consequence to reporters' questions. Nor did he flatter Putin, whom he had previously praised as “the full wise.”

— He should get along. I think destroys Russia without an agreement said Trump about Putin.

The president of the United States besides predicts that Russia will be in “big trouble”. He besides stated that the Russian Federation has suffered losses of about 700,000 deaths and injuries since the invasion of Ukraine.

Trump even starts utilizing a metaphorical stick in the form of threats. It is threatened that if Putin does not shortly halt the "crazy war", he will have no choice but "to impose advanced taxes, duties and sanctions on everything that Russia sells to the US and another participating countries".

Zelenski warns in Davos

A circumstantial ceasefire agreement has not yet reached the negotiating table. However, it is assumed that Putin could hold control of Crimea and another conquered regions in exchange for a ceasefire.

The president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenski is not satisfied with this proposal. Ukraine would lose about 1 5th of its territory. Tuesday 21 January at the planet economical Forum in Davos Ukrainian head of state called on Europe to become “a strong, independent player, without constantly looking at Washington."

Experts do not believe that Trump will scope the promised peace agreement in the foreseeable future. Ulrich Schmid, Russian expert at St. Gallen University, said in an interview with Blick portal: "Putin repeatedly refused to frost the war on the current front line. To this day, he insists on the actual surrender of Ukraine".

Putin inactive hopes for an advantage in the war of destruction.

— Even if Putin had agreed to a ceasefire, it should be feared that he would have utilized the time he had gained to arm the army,” said Schmid.

Philipp Adorf, a U.S. political expert at Bonn University, assumes Trump will increase his assistance to Ukraine if Putin does not bend.

— Due to the unprecedented US support for Ukraine, Washington would see Kiev's defeat as its strategical defeat," he said. According to Adorf Trump, he wouldn't accept it, and that's why he'll take a tough line.

According to Adorf, the ceasefire talks will only take place if Putin "internal political costs outweigh abroad policy war profits". Adorf added that "if Trump signals openness to further support for Ukraine, Putin can approach the negotiating table comparatively rapidly due to economical burdens".
