Advisors to Donald Trump are privately and publicly advocating for proposals to end the Ukraine war that would involve ceding large territories to Russia. Among the advisors is retired General Keith Kellogg, who suggests negotiations could center around military aid. While Trump has promised to resolve the conflict upon taking office, analysts doubt his ability to fulfill such pledges due to the war’s complexities. Criticism may arise from Ukraine’s leadership and European allies, complicating the potential for a unified peace strategy.
