Trump, Putin and the Ukraine war: A high-stakes power play

The Hindu  

United States President Donald Trump has never been one to shy away from grand declarations, but his latest pledge — to end the Russia-Ukraine war within 100 days if re-elected — ignited a firestorm of controversy. However, analysts fear that Mr. Trump could strike a unilateral deal that favours Russian interests while undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty. His defiance has won him praise among European allies, but with Mr. Trump back in the White House, Ukraine’s ability to resist diplomatic pressure may be severely tested. Mr. Trump’s aggressive stance towards Mr. Zelenskyy, along with his ambiguous relationship with Mr. Putin, suggests that he may be willing to cut a deal at Ukraine’s expense. The cost of a bad peace deal Beyond the immediate consequences for Ukraine, Mr. Trump’s handling of the conflict carries broader implications for global stability.
