Experts and political analysts increasingly suggest that Donald Trump, upon becoming president of the United States, could play a decisive role in resolving the war in Ukraine. It is believed that his approach will be based on pragmatic calculations rather than geopolitical principles.
“BILD” writes about this.
Some believe a peace deal brokered by Trump could lead to the de facto division of Ukraine, providing a partial victory for Russia. At the same time, others indicate that Trump’s interests may focus on the economic benefits associated with Ukraine’s natural resources.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of Trump’s closest allies, said the war in Ukraine is mostly about money. He said Ukraine is “the richest country in Europe” and its mineral resources, including uranium, titanium, lithium and graphite, are valued at $7 trillion. Graham emphasized that future negotiations with Trump could lead to a deal beneficial to both kyiv and Washington.
In this context, Vladimir Zelensky is trying to turn Trump’s economic interests in favor of Ukraine. During a meeting with Trump in New York in September, Zelensky presented a “victory plan” that would involve allies in joint development of Ukraine’s natural resources. The document emphasizes the strategic importance of these resources in strengthening both Ukraine and the democratic world as a whole.
However, questions remain about what position Trump will take. On the one hand, in his circle there are more and more supporters of support for Ukraine; On the other hand, isolationists continue to criticize the enormous financial costs that the conflict entails for the United States. In recent years alone, the United States has spent $175 billion on aid to Ukraine, of which $69.8 billion was for military support.
Trump’s possible “Ukraine U-turn” remains a source of speculation. Many are confident that his policy will be dictated by economic interests and not by a strategic struggle with Russia. However, this could be an important opportunity for Ukraine to turn the situation in its favor.
